Report of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of

Note by the Secretariat
At the invitation of the Government, the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms
of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance visited Argentina from
16 to 23 May 2016. The mandate holder addresses the persisting challenges the country
faces in fighting racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,
including not only the alarming situation of indigenous peoples, but also the
marginalization of migrants and people of African descent. He examines access to
economic, social and cultural rights, access to justice, police profiling and stigmatization
and makes recommendations.
