Ireland and the Council of Europe


By Michael Kennedy

  • Release Date : 01 January 2012

In order to understand the present situation and identify ways to address the impacts of these inequalities we must understand the past and mechanisms related to the differentiated treatment. The situation and discrimination of the Roma ethnic minority in Slovakia is examined from the perspective of environmental conditions ...
