The definitions and concepts of Luxembourg's anti-discrimination law are partially favourable: The law does apply to the public and private sector, but only on the grounds of race/ethnicity and religion/belief. The law does not punish nationality discrimination in the many fields of life. The enforcement of anti-discrimination law is partially favourable. For instance, protection against victimisation only extends to employment and vocational training. Luxembourg's slightly unfavourable score on equality policies is partly explained by the limited powers of the specialised equality agency, which was not yet in place on 1 March 2007. Furthermore, the state does not inform residents of their rights as victims or ensure that laws and public bodies comply with anti-discrimination and promote equality.
