Strategic litigation of race directive in Europe: from principles to practice
On 29 June 2000, the European Union (EU) adopted the Race Equality Directive. The legal protection of racial minorities required by the Race Equality Directive is groundbreaking. What are arguably the highest legislative standards against race discrimination internationally are now required of all States in the EU. Accordingly, the coming years promise exciting opportunities to advance the rights of racial minorities in Europe and litigation will be an important part of this.
This handbook on strategic litigation of racial discrimination stems from a three-year project of the European Roma Rights Center, Interights and Migration Policy Group.

Based on this handbook the Minority Rights Center, Humanitarian Law Center and the ERRC published a separate manual focusing on the Serbian situation of Roma. This manual is only available in Serbian.
