A DELEGATION from the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Cyprus from September 13-17 as the first step for the preparation of a monitoring report.
During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its 2006 report and discussed new issues that have emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Nicosia and Limassol with representatives of all relevant ministries, public officials, human rights NGOs and minority groups.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited in two years’ time as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2006 report, ECRI found that the lack of a comprehensive immigration and integration policy made migrants, especially domestic workers, particularly vulnerable to human rights violations, exploitation and discrimination. Asylum seekers were also found to experience serious difficulties in exercising their rights and ECRI was concerned by the extensive use of detention in immigration and asylum procedures.
In the same report, ECRI expressed unease about the conduct of law enforcement officials and allegations of ill treatment. Manifestations of prejudice and discrimination affecting the Turkish Cypriot community, including persons of Roma origin, still needed to be addressed and ECRI highlighted the need for education to reflect the needs of an increasingly culturally and ethnically diverse society.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member states.

Some are more racist than others. Some are just bitter from having their country invaded.

[Gasman]

The 'report' only confirms what most people who arrive in Cyprus from elsewhere see very quickly for themselves - most Cypriots are very racist.

[Bananiot]

I think that many are also racist in a naive way. One of our sayings pays testament to this. It goes like this "Even if you soap an Arab, you will only waste your soap". Another says "even if you wash your dog it will still smell like a dog".

[B25]

More BS from the turks trying to justify their own racsim.

Of course I expected Banana man to jump in with his 2 TL worth.

No GC to live in the north
Racist flag on mountain
no return of property to GC
passports at crossing in our own country

. Rotating presidency on ethnic terms

Now tell us who the Fucking racists are.

FO.

[humanist]

[Jerry]

The report says nothing about the delegation visiting the occupied north, I wonder why?

[boomerang]

wtf?...is this some kind of a joke?...where are these clowns when the french are throwing the roma out of france?

bananiot you are not exactly being truthful here...why no give us some examples in which context these expressions are used, and let people decide if they are racist, huh?..

last and not least gasfart...this report is a fucking joke and anyone with an ounce of brain can see through it...your comment quickly proves my point...see roma and france, first paragraph...anyway, not happy living in cyprus gasfart, don't let the door slap your ass on the way out...

why is it when the plane turns off the turbines the whining is still heard?...coz the plane is full of poms...

Dont be a fool. I said 'it will benefit the whole of Cyprus'. In the north thereis a far worse kind of racism (included in the ethnic cleansing of the GC population).
