The security zones, also known as visitation zones, were introduced last year and are "concerning" Cerd, who refers to reports of racial profiling in the zones.
Gay McDougall, vice chairman of the committee, calls the zones “repulsive and illegal” in an interview with Svenska Dagbladet .
The visitation zones violate the Convention against Racial Discrimination to which Sweden is a party, she says.
Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer's press secretary Ebba Koril tells SvD that the issue of discrimination was carefully considered.
"The government's assessment was then as well as now that the regulation, through guarantees of legal certainty, is compatible with fundamental freedoms and rights and does not violate international conventions," she writes in an email to the newspaper.
CERD urges Sweden, among other countries, to review its discrimination laws to explicitly combat racial profiling.
Visitation zones may be introduced where there is a significant risk of explosions or shootings.
