‘Discrimination’ means any conduct whereby, or situation where, on grounds such as those mentioned in the preceding Article:

(a): one person is treated less favourably than another person is, has been or would be treated in a comparable situation; or
(b): an apparently neutral provision, criterion or practice would place one group of persons at a particular disadvantage when compared to a different group of persons.

(2)

Discrimination also includes harassment on grounds such as those mentioned in the preceding Article. ‘Harassment’ means unwanted conduct (including conduct of a sexual nature) which violates a person's dignity, particularly when such conduct creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment, or which aims to do so.

Any instruction to discriminate also amounts to discrimination.
