La Commission européenne contre le racisme et l'intolérance (ECRI) a été créée par le Conseil de l'Europe. C'est un organisme indépendant qui veille au respect des droits de l'homme dans la lutte contre le racisme, la discrimination (fondée sur la "race", l'origine ethnique ou nationale, la ...couleur, la nationalité, la religion, la langue, l'orientation sexuelle et l'identité de genre), la xénophobie, l'antisémitisme et l'intolérance.

Dans le cadre de son mandat statutaire, l'ECRI produit des rapports nationaux pour chaque pays qui analysent la situation en matière de racisme et d'intolérance dans chaque Etat membre du Conseil de l'Europe et font des propositions pour résoudre les problèmes identifiés.
