UN should inquire countries where human rights are missing. For example in the countries where come the immigrants?

GENEVA - France is experiencing "a significant resurgence of racism" and lacked the political will to fix the problem, experts from the UN's anti-discrimination watchdog said Wednesday.

The criticism came as a panel of 18 experts from the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination presented a 90-page report on racism in France, the first since 2005.

After the session, the French delegation unexpectedly announced the preparation of a national action plan against racism.

Despite numerous legal instruments, France was facing "a notable resurgence in racism and xenophobia", Togolese expert Ewomsan Kokou said.

According to U.S. inspector Pierre-Richard Prosper, the resurgence was due to "the absence of true political will".

The debate covered treatment of traveller communities and the Roma, the debate on national identity, the non-recognition of the rights of minorities and the hardening of political discourse.

The situation of travelling communities and immigrants is a hot-button issue in France, following a threatened crackdown by President Nicolas Sarkozy in the wake of recent violence.

Sarkozy's threat to strip foreign-born nationals of French citizenship if they committed crimes came in for particular criticism.

"I don't know what a 'French person of foreign origin' is," said Gun Kut, a Turkish inspector. "I ask if this is compatible with the constitution."

The panel would wait for responses from the French delegation in a session Thursday before drawing up their recommendations.

"France has been placed on the grill," said Malik Salemkour, from the League of Human Rights.

[Crazykz]

^^^ You never know France could be under the surface of this paticular racism.

[jinnsamys]

I hate UN, they should care about Haiti, Cuba and China human rights violations or African countries and stop ganging up against with first world countries.
France is fine, they are very generous (too much) to to the rest of the world, look their football team, how can those people be racist. UN is a bureaucracy mafia.

This sentence shows how shitty UN is:

According to U.S. inspector Pierre-Richard Prosper, the resurgence was due to "the absence of true political will".

If something has characterized France is the excess of political will, the megawelfare and liberal policies that had led many immigrants (and nationals) to think that the state must guarantee them incomes only for being living there.

Then again France could just be like any Anglo countries in it's balance of behaviour so if thats what you mean by generous then I guess your right.

The PM is an immigrant himself and now is against those of which he is from.

Definitely a racist country, and xenophobic, viz, fascist.

In a sense,we are all racists, the only thing which differentiate us is to which degree. Hence the Togolese "inspector" should just zip his mouth

No true anymore;

First ethnic statistics ever published in France reveal 54% of babies born in Paris are Black http://www.eutimes.net/2010/05/first...ris-are-black/

[enrisaabsotte]

France is not racist. How about the UN go after the real racists countries, mostly the Muslim ones. What about Saudi Arabia's policy on citizenship, you must be Saudi and you must be Muslim to be a citizen. What the fuck?! And then you hear Muslims crying about how racist some people in European countries are. France has allowed many foreigners to move in, hardly racist.
