The committee’s comments relate to the dismissal ten years ago of Fatima Afif from the Baby Loup nursery in the French town of Chanteloup-les-Vignes, west of Paris.
After appeals and legal battles, a court in 2010 ruled that Baby Loup was within its rights to fire Afif.
But in 2013 France’s highest court decided that she had been unfairly fired as a result of religious discrimination.
The UN committee — in remarks published on August 10 and seen by AFP — noted that not allowing the wearing of a headscarf in the workplace interfered with the right to manifest a person’s religion.
