Andorra Makes Progress in the Fight Against Racism and Intolerance, According to the Evaluation Report Published by the Council of Europe
The Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) has published its fifth report on Andorra, evaluating the country’s progress in combating racism and intolerance since the last report in 2015. The report commends Andorra for its efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, while also highlighting areas where further progress is needed.
One of the key areas of progress identified in the report is Andorra’s commitment to combating hate speech. In 2019, the country adopted a new law criminalizing hate speech, and the government has also implemented a number of educational initiatives to raise awareness of the issue. The report also praises Andorra for its efforts to promote diversity in the public sector, including the adoption of a new law in 2018 that requires public bodies to take steps to increase the representation of women and minorities in their workforce.
However, the report also identifies a number of areas where further progress is needed. One of the main concerns raised is the lack of data on hate crimes and hate speech in Andorra. The report recommends that the government collect more data on these issues in order to better understand their prevalence and to develop more effective strategies to combat them. Another concern raised in the report is the lack of legal protection for victims of discrimination. The report recommends that the government adopt a new law that would provide victims of discrimination with access to justice and compensation.
Overall, the report concludes that Andorra has made significant progress in the fight against racism and intolerance, but that further efforts are needed to address the remaining challenges. The report recommends that the government continue to implement its existing policies and programs, and to adopt new measures to address the issues identified in the report.
The Andorran government has welcomed the report and has pledged to continue its efforts to combat racism and intolerance. The government has also announced that it will be working with the Council of Europe to develop a new action plan to address the recommendations made in the report.
