CONCEPT OF INDIRECT DISCRIMINATION UNDER ARTICLE 14 OF THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: The concept of indirect discrimination is developed in internal law of many countries, as well as in EU law. The related legal development in the EU influenced the European Court of Human Rights to add а new meaning to Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the last decade, the Court has started to interpret Article 14 as a legal basis for the prohibition of indirect discrimination. Some judgments of the Court show that the concept, as applied by the Court, brings remarkable legal potentials for further transformation of European societies in direction of better inclusion of marginalized groups.
