The Situation of Roma between Human Rights and Economics
Publisher: ECMI Volume: 27 pages, pdf Description: Visible attention to the situation of Roma on the part of intergovernmental organizations active in Europe has increased gradually since the 1990s. Whereas documents on Roma published by such organizations in the 1990s tended to emphasize human rights as a basis for calls for measures to improve the Roma‟s situation, since the first several years of the current millennium similar calls have been increasingly rooted in the proposition that improvements in the situation of Roma can be expected to provide economic benefits for the general populations of the countries in which Roma live.
