Minorities and discrimination based on caste and analogous systems of inherited status 2016, para. 53
Párrafo
Paragraph text
At the regional level, in 2013 the European Parliament adopted a resolution on caste based discrimination, in which it called for the European Union to promote the draft United Nations principles and guidelines as a guiding framework for eliminating caste based discrimination and to promote their endorsement by the Human Rights Council. It also called on the European Commission to recognize caste-based discrimination as a "distinct form of discrimination rooted in the social and/or religious context" which must be addressed together with other grounds of discrimination, including ethnicity, race, descent, religion, gender and sexuality, and appealed for the inclusion of caste-based discrimination as a human rights issue in future European Union human rights policies, strategies and action plans.
