14.10.2008 Right to equal treatment, which is a building stone of modern society, is one of fundamental human rights of all people.
No-one should be treated differently because of their age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation etc.
The right to equal treatment is set in the Statute of basic rights and freedoms, however to enforce this right in everyday life, a law is needed.
Currently a second draft of the law sits with parliament. The bill had been approved by the Lower House of Parliament and the Senate before being vetoed by the President on
The law is understandably a compromise due to its long journey through the parliament. Nonetheless, the below signed NGOs are convinced that it is necessary to pass this bill, which victims of discrimination have long been waiting for.
The fate of the bill will be decided by the lower house of parliament. We are calling upon the members of the parliament to support passing of this bill.
