European Court Denounces Segregated Education Again: Oršuš and Others v Croatia

Summary/Abstract: Since 2007, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) has condemned discrimination against Romani children in access to education in three different cases (D.H. and Others v The Czech Republic, Sampanis and Others v Greece and Oršuš and Others v Croatia). These three cases demonstrate that discrimination against Romani children in education is a widespread phenomenon in Europe which occurs in different ways but has the same outcome: Romani children are deprived of their fundamental right to education on an equal footing with other children.
