The challenge -- pt. 2. The response -- pt. 3. Rethinking the response.An intriguing paradox characterises international and European action against discrimination. On the one hand, equality and the right to non-discrimination are key human rights and protected by an impressive line of legal documents. On the other hand, empirical studies show that discrimination is still rampant today. This book maps the gap between the rights and the reality, and examines the causes, consequences and extent of discrimination in Europe today as well as the international and European legal response to it. On the basis of this analysis, the study explains why anti-discrimination law fails to deliver, and what can be done about it. The result is of interest to scholars, students, civil society, politicians and anyone interested in equality and making it a reality.Erik Castrén Institute monographs on international law and human rights ;v. 13.DiscriminationLaw and legislationEuropeDiscriminationLaw and legislation342.408/73Makkonen Timo597025MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778819203321Equal in law, unequal in fact3682966UNINA02812nam 2200565 a 450 991078173710332120230617002820.01-283-63541-00-8263-3714-7(CKB)2550000000050909(EBL)1118976(OCoLC)817818789(SSID)ssj0000533907(PQKBManifestationID)11333907(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000533907(PQKBWorkID)10492981(PQKB)10789029(MiAaPQ)EBC1118976(OCoLC)774403766(MdBmJHUP)muse7485(Au-PeEL)EBL1118976(CaPaEBR)ebr10492319(EXLCZ)99255000000005090920040930d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAmbassador Ortiz[electronic resource] lessons from a life of service /Frank V.
