European Convention of Human Rights/Council of Europe

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesChapterpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

This chapter describes and assesses the enforcement of anti-discrimination law at the level of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) where Article 14 constitutes the central provision prohibiting discrimination and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is the main interpreter. Enforcement of the ECtHR judgments is done—somewhat problematically—by a political body, the Committee of Ministers. More recently the ECtHR has become more involved in the enforcement process via a number of mechanisms and interpretations.
