RACISM 'ALIVE AND PERNICIOUS' IN FRANCE

Gay J. McDougall, independent expert on the United Nations treaty body that oversees the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD):

Because of the colour of their skin, their religion, their surname or their address, these young people in France see no chance of social mobility.

People who work hard, play by the rules and believe in the ethos of the Republic, yet find themselves trapped in ghettos, isolated in enclaves where the unemployment rate can reach 40 percent.
