Abstract

Discrimination against the Roma minority has been a subject of continuous debate. Despite the ‘conditionality’ to acquis communautaire on anti-discrimination, the role of the accession States remains questionable regarding implementation and compliance on the ground. This article critiques the lack of competence of institutions including the Court of Justice ( ecj ), and the Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in areas such as mainstream education and employment. The issue demands a more robust approach both from the concerned States and the European Union ( eu ). The imbalance between the protection of the economic freedoms and fundamental rights of the Roma need to be addressed in line with the influencing factors emerging from an empirical study conducted in Hungary.
