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. II. Conclusions and/or recommendations** 124.
