| description | This article focuses on the key role and contribution of the European Court
of Human Rights (ECHR) in protecting the rights of Roma against systemic
patterns of violence and discrimination. It investigates the suitability of
individual applications in front of international monitoring organs as a
litigation strategy to address structural problems emerging at the national
level, such as widespread attacks against members of vulnerable minority
groups, and puts forward that this strategy has demonstrated to be successful
in the case of Roma. The analysis shows that complaints introduced before the
ECHR have at the same time helped in providing redress to individual victims,
uncovering patterns of systemic abuses, offering solutions to prevent their
resurgence, effectively encouraging the adoption of protective measures
domestically, and developing the competences of international supervisory
mechanisms. As such, it constitutes the most effective avenue so far to right
those societal wrongs. |
