Dutch border police in court for ethnic profiling

On Wednesday, 26 February 2020, a civil society coalition will summon the Dutch state to appear in court for ethnic profiling by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee (Dutch border police). The plaintiffs include two private citizens, Amnesty International, Controle Alt Delete, anti-discrimination organisation RADAR and the Public Interest Litigation Project, part of the Dutch section of the International Commission of Jurists (PILP-NJCM), and are demanding that the court draw a line and put an end to discriminatory border control activities. They assert that the Dutch border police is acting in violation of human rights and Dutch law. In recent years, the plaintiffs have put this problem on the agenda and insisted on measures to fight ethnic profiling; sadly, these efforts have been to no avail. This is why they are taking this case to court today.https://pilpnjcm.nl/en/dutch-border-police-in-court-for-ethnic-profiling/
