Abstract

2. "Roma Issues" in Jurisprudence Kristin Henrard* I. Introduction When asked to write about "the Roma and the Council of Europe", one has numerous options regarding what angle to take. The core business of the Council of Europe is (the protection of) human rights, democracy and the rule of law.1 Indeed, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is undoubtedly the institution of the Council of Europe which is most well-known. However, many more institutions as well as other bodies of that organization have worked on the Roma issue, not in the least the Commissioner on Human Rights, the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly. Considering the systemic levels of discrimination of and intolerance toward Roma, the work of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) surely cannot be left out. In addition, several treaty bodies whose supervisory practice merits consideration are, in particular, the Advisory Committee of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (AC, FCNM), the European Committee of Social Rights of the European Social Charter and the Committee of Experts of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (European Language Charter).2 * 1 2 Kristin Henrard is Professor of Minority
