The purpose of the seminar, organised by the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights and the European Centre for the Rights of Roma, is to present international and domestic instruments for the prevention of discrimination.
Foreign and domestic experts highlighted the provisions of international legislation concerning discrimination and the role of international courts and independent bodies in this area. They cited documents aimed at preventing discrimination, such as the Declaration on the Rights of the Child and the conventions on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination and discrimination against women.
A round table on "Anti-Discrimination in Croatia" will take place on the second day of the seminar on Friday. Representatives of Croatian state institutions, the Office of the President, the Parliament and the Government and representatives of international institutions have been invited.
