A/HRC/24/9
121. In concluding, the Commissioner stated that racial profiling was prohibited by law,
which was confirmed by a court decision. There was no need for any additional legislation.
Awareness must be raised and maintained through specific training of police officers.
122. The Commissioner stated that there was no prohibition on wearing religious
symbols. However, public schools, given their neutrality, can ask their teaching personnel
to appear in class without visible symbols of their religion or belief. If such a demand
existed, it applied to all religions.
123. The Commissioner stated that Germany combated human trafficking decisively on
the national and international level. Many bilateral agreements had been signed in order to
strengthen cooperation. Victims of trafficking had a right to remedies and to pursue the
perpetrators in court. Regulations had been adapted to permit residence on humanitarian
grounds. The number of victims of human trafficking has decreased over the last years.
