The European Court of Human Rights condemned France for failing to protect Karim Touil’s rights amid accusations of racial profiling by police in 2011. The court discovered no justification for Touil's repeated stops and asserted presumed discriminatory treatment by authorities. Despite being unable to confirm similar discrimination in five other cases, the court emphasized systemic issues within French policing that have drawn criticism from major human rights organizations. Reports indicate racial profiling is prevalent, particularly against young black and Arab males, with alarming rates of identity checks against these groups.
