This book addresses the legal feasibility of ethnic data collection
and positive action for equality and anti-discrimination purposes,
and considers how they could be used to promote the Roma minority's
inclusion in Europe. The book's central aim is to research how a
societal problem can be improved upon from a legal perspective. The
controversy surrounding ethnic data collection and positive action
severely limits their use at the national level. Accordingly, legal
and political concerns are analysed and addressed in order to
demonstrate that it is possible to collect such data and to
implement such measures while fully respecting international and
European human rights norms, provided that certain conditions are
met. Part I focuses on ethnic data collection and explores the key
rules and principles that govern it, the ways in which this
equality tool could be used, and how potential obstacles might be
overcome. It also identifies and addresses the specific challenges
that arise when collecting ethnic data on the Roma minority in
Europe. In turn, Part II explores positive action and the broad
range of measures covered by the concept, before analysing the
applicable international and European framework. It reviews the
benefits and challenges of implementing positive action for Roma,
identifies best practices, and gives special consideration to
inter-cultural mediation in the advancement of Roma inclusion. The
book concludes with an overview of the main findings on both topics
and by identifying three essential elements that must be in place,
in addition to full respect for the applicable legal rules, in
order to combat discrimination and achieve the inclusion of Roma in
Europe by complementing existing anti-discrimination frameworks
with the collection of ethnic data and the implementation of
positive action schemes.
