This report highlights some of the key human rights concerns for Roma in Macedonia, based on permanent monitoring by the ERRC and NRC of the human rights situation of Roma in the country. The issues raised in this report implicate Mac- edonia’s obligations under the following human rights laws: International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Convention on the Elimina- tion of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, International Convention on the Rights of the Child. antI-dIscrIMInatIon laW The Law for Prevention and Protection against Discrimination (LPPD) was adopted on 8 February 2010, and came into force in January 2011.1 The law provoked controversy, as some legal experts claimed that it is not in compliance with EU law, due to the fact that sexual orientation was not explicitly included as a possible ground for discrimination.2 Furthermore, there are other issues of non-compliance with the EU Racial Equality Directive and the Employment Equality Directive, such the use of statistics as evidence in indirect discrimination cases and the fact that the capacity of associations to bring an action is limited to judicial procedures only and the collec- tive interest of certain groups (the group s are not specified by the law).
