The UN's report indicates that, despite efforts to combat racism, the UK is witnessing a troubling uptick in hate speech from prominent figures, necessitating immediate governmental action.
UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination highlighted that numerous credible reports of racist comments from a variety of public figures are concerning, reflecting a broader issue.
The committee emphasized the alarming increase in the use of force by law enforcement, especially regarding racial profiling and the alarming rates of strip-searches performed on children.
The report advocates for stricter legislation to curb the over-policing of schools with a high population of ethnic minority pupils and to prohibit harmful practices like strip-searching children.
