ZAGREB, May 5 (Hina) - The Croatian Constitutional Court has ruled
that law-makers did not discriminate against civilian disabled persons from
the Homeland Defence War when they provided them with less rights than those
enjoyed by disabled war veterans and their families. Constitutional
Court judges on Thursday unanimously decided that there was no discrimination
against civilian victims of the Homeland Defence War, after they considered a
request on this matter lodged by the Federation of Associations of Croatian
civilian victims.
The judges concluded that no discrimination was at work but that
civilian invalids from the war and disabled war veterans were two different
categories of disabled persons and that their rights were regulated by two
specific laws.
