European Monitoring Centre on Racism & Xenophobia

Cornell Law Library's InSite newsletter (12/05/2005)
highlights the European Monitoring Centre on Racism
and Xenophobia.

"The primary task of the Centre is to provide European
Union and its Member States with objective,
reliable and comparable information and data on racism,
xenophobia, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. It is the
task of the EUMC to work out strategies to combat racism
and xenophobia, and to highlight and disseminate examples
of good practice regarding the integration of migrants
and ethnic and religious minority groups in the EU Member
States.

...the site includes analytical country reports.., [and] annual
reports that also provide executive summaries [on] racism
and xenophobia in the EU and its Member States and highlight
examples of good practice. Discussion papers, a quarterly
newsletter, and a searchable database (RAXEN) covering the
fields of employment, education, housing,
racist violence and crime, and related legislative provisions are
also available."
