European Roma Rights Centre Biennial Report 2003-2004
The European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) announces publication of its 2003-2004 Biennial Report. The ERRC Biennial Report 2003-2004 includes summary description of the ERRC's activities for the two years previous. Noted achievements include:
- Becoming recognised as the major civil society stakeholder shaping Roma-related rights-based policy at the European level, and authoring the official European Union policy report on Roma.
- Reshaping European domestic law in a number of areas through landmark decisions won in Roma rights cases.
- Training a new generation of legal practitioners in anti-discrimination through measures including workshops, close work with attorneys directly on cases, and other actions.
- Intensifying work in the area of women's rights through training, research and advocacy before international human rights bodies.
- Breaking new ground in undertaking Roma rights work in the former Soviet Union – including in particular Russia and Ukraine.
- Through a range of activities, heightening the capacity of Romani individuals and organisations to secure Roma rights.
Materials are organized thematically, and a series of appendices present comprehensive lists of ERRC scholarship recipients, legal cases undertaken by the ERRC, ERRC publications, and other matters. An introduction by ERRC Acting Executive Director Claude Cahn provides reflections on developments during the period.
The ERRC Biennial Report 2003-2004 also includes a CD-Rom containing a selection of ERRC advocacy and legal submissions, key court judgments, articles by ERRC staff and affiliates, and articles appearing in the media on ERRC activities.
