Qualitative Info

At the national level, the National Independent Commission of Human Rights  since 1990 has a mandate to submit a yearly report on the fight against racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia to the Government. These reports have recorded and analyzed all governmental available data of different nature on racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic acts: data gathered by the Ministry of Interior - mainly based on recorded complaints for serious offences motivated by racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia-, cases brought to criminal justice recorded by the Ministry of Justice and racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic events which took place in schools recorded by the Ministry of Education.  Every year the CNCDH receives all the existing and available data from the three Ministries to proceed to the publication of the report.

At the international level, there is an independent assessment of the impact of anti-racist legislation and its application in practice by the Human Rights Council, the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,  the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the UN, by the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Council of Europe.
