Roma Rights 4/2000 Contents
Roma Rights 4/2000, the quarterly of the European Roma Rights Center
(ERRC), addresses "Racism: Denial and Acknowledgement", and authors
rose to the challenge of this theme with the following contributions:
Dimitrina Petrova introduces the issue with an article entitled "The
Denial of Racism". Konstanty Gebert follows with an assessment of the
state of racism in Europe, World War II to present. Peter Vermeersch
describes the development of racist exclusion of Roma from political
life in Hungary and Slovakia over the course of the 1990s. Robin
Oakley presents UK experiences in fighting institutional racism and
draws some conclusions for Roma in Central and Eastern Europe. Next,
James Goldston describes new European legal mechanisms available to
governments in the struggle against racism and racist discrimination.
Laurent Jourdan describes the past abuses of the Yenish by Swiss
authorities. Gioia Maiellano assesses the development of the terms
"race" and "ethnicity" in international law and notes deficiencies in
the practise of some Central and Eastern European Countries. ERRC
advocacy efforts in the area of anti-discrimination and asylum follow.
A Romani-language translation of The International Convention on the
Elimination All Forms of Racial Discrimination is provided at
http://errc.org/rr_nr4_2000/romani.shtml. The English language version
of the text is available on the Internet at:
