Roma Rights 1/2001: Access to Justice



Roma Rights 1/2001 addresses the theme of "access to justice". The
articles in this issue cover various aspects of justice as they
pertain to Roma, and especially how individuals may gain access to
courts. The articles lay bare some aspects of the often opaque
machinery of domestic and international legal systems. The contents of
Roma Rights 1/2001, including links to files on the ERRC website,
