National action plan against racism (PAN AR)

Last update

The National Action Plan for the implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (PAN AR) was adopted by the Government Council on 28 November 2025.

The PAN AR is a multi-annual plan coordinated by the Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception of Refugees. It is grounded in the commitments of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as a member of the European Union, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, in the areas of equal treatment, non-discrimination and human rights.

The plan comprises 23 objectives and 118 actions covering six themes: data and statistics, awareness-raising, victim support, housing, employment and education.

Two governance bodies ensure the implementation of the actions described in the plan:

  • The Interministerial Steering Group (GroPil), which brings together contact points from all ministries involved;
  • The Monitoring Group (GroSuivi), which includes representatives of civil society organisations, human rights institutions and the Higher Council for Intercultural Living Together.

It is an open and evolving multi-annual plan, which can be adapted based on new needs, partner feedback, progress of measures or studies, in accordance with its governance framework. After five years, an external evaluation will be carried out.

TOGETHER, LET US MAKE A SOCIETY WITHOUT RACISM A REALITY.
