The Netherlands is a European country bordering Germany and Belgium. A constitutional monarch with a long tradition of parliamentary democracy, the Netherlands operates a vibrant multi-party system with a king as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Despite a long tradition of tolerance, the Netherlands has seen increasing levels of tension between ethnic and cultural groups - this, combined with the discrimination it can inspire, is one of the country's key human rights concerns.
