Unia is preparing legal action against Nathan Cofnas, the controversial researcher at Ghent University. Unia is an independent Belgian public body that combats discrimination and promotes equal opportunities. According to the organisation, Cofnas ranks people on the basis of their origin or skin colour and uses scientific arguments to justify this. The organisation claims that as a result he may be in breach of Belgian anti-racism legislation and the UN convention against racial discrimination. Unia intends to take the matter to court.
