Greece Signs EU Declaration against Racism

Print

Representatives of 17 European Union member states participated in the Rome Conference and signed the "Declaration of Rome" condemning racism and urging greater action to promote diversity across the union on September 23. Interior Minister Yiannis Mihelakis, signing on behalf of Greece, said that the Greek Government is already taking the necessary measures, and is reinforcing the laws of the country in order to crush violence and xenophobia.


The Declaration of Rome refers to European humanist values and stresses the need to "turn into reality all the promises for democracy and all the values of European humanism." In it, reference is made among others to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights, and it says that "despite the real progress that occurred in the texts and the development of society, many citizens are still victims of various forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance that is linked to these phenomena."
