The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has alerted to the increase of Islamophobia cases in Belgium. The committee issued a report which criticized the Belgian government for its failure to take measures to address this issue. It called for establishing national organizations for human rights in European states.  The report stated that the protests against Muslims, ban against the hijab and use of force by the police against religious minorities points to the prevalence of racial discrimination (Author not mentioned, al-Fath, March 21, p. 11).
