Enforcing Roma rights before international human rights mechanisms

Magistrsko diplomsko delo se osredotoča na uveljavljanje pravic Romov pred pogodbenimi mehanizmi Organizacije združenih narodov. Celotno delo skozi analizo individualnih pritožb, ki so jih Romi naslovili na odbore, prikazuje postopek in način uveljavljanja kršenih človekovih pravic iz mednarodnih pogodb. Hipoteza magistrskega diplomskega dela je, da je Romom individualno uveljavljanje kršitev človekovih pravic preko pogodbenih mehanizmov Organizacije združenih narodov oteženo. Ob raziskovanju in preučevanju individualnih pritožb se je pokazalo, katere izmed določb mednarodnih pogodb o človekovih pravicah so v postopkih, v katere so vključeni Romi, kršene, kakšen je postopek uveljavitve kršitve in kakšni so življenjski pogoji, v katerih Romi živijo.The focus of this thesis is Roma’s enforcement of their rights before United Nations’ treaty-based mechanisms. The process of enforcing violations of human rights enshrined in treaties is illustrated through an analysis of individual complaints submitted by Roma. This thesis’s hypothesis is that Roma’s individual enforcement of the violations of their rights before United Nation’s treaty-based mechanisms is hampered. By means of research and a study of individual complaints, I found out which provisions of human rights treaties were violated in those cases, how such violations can be enforced, and what are Roma’s living conditions
