Strategic
Litigation of Race Discrimination in Europe:
From Principles to Practice
(A manual on the theory and practice of strategic litigation with particular
reference to the EC Race Directive)
Together
with partners, European Roma Rights Center and Migration Policy Group,
INTERIGHTS has produced Strategic Litigation of Race Discrimination in
Europe: From Principles to Practice (A manual on strategic litigation with
particular reference to the EC Race Directive).
The
manual is intended to assist lawyers in NGOs, specialised bodies, and
working in private practice in strategically selecting and developing cases
that will lead to the greatest progress towards protection against
discrimination. Given the very large number of cases that will fall within
the purview of the EC Race Directive, litigators will increasingly be faced
with many cases worthy of intervention. The reality of limited resources
means that many lawyers will have to be selective about those cases they
take forward to regional or international litigation. Partners would like to
thank the participants of the Strategic Litigation Workshop held at
INTERIGHTS in October 2003 whose contributions have been included in several
chapters of this manual.
'Implementing
European Anti-Discrimination Law' was a three-year joint project of the
European Roma Rights Center, INTERIGHTS and Migration Policy Group, which
aims to support local and regional groups and individuals in making the most
of the historic opportunity for enhanced anti-discrimination efforts created
by the EC Race Equality Directive.

the issue based on experiences within their respective countries -

ESCR.

Expert
Report on Judicial Appointments to the European Court
In February 2003, a group of eminent European
jurists met in London to consider the issue of judicial independence with
respect to the current procedure for judicial appointments to the European Court
of Human Rights (the Court). This report details their deliberations and
contains their recommendation
The Report reviews the current procedures for
the appointments of judges to the Court both at the domestic nomination, and
international review and election stages. It concludes that at all levels the
processes lack transparency and accountability. Noting international standards
on the independence of the judiciary, the Report makes a number of
recommendations for reform of the system of judicial appointments.

French. Click here
