Sažetak
Without understanding the origins, reasons, and incentives for the development of legal protection, it is impossible to understand valid legal protection. The paper therefore studies the steps that led to the existing anti-discrimination protection in international law in general, and in the law of the Council of Europe and the law of the European Union.
The impetus for this work is the novelties that have taken place in this area in the last few years, from which the initial thesis emerged that eight decades of development of anti-discrimination protection through the sources of human rights at the universal and regional level was not enough to adequately prevent discrimination, but there is still a need for further improvement of this protection. Thus, it starts from the thesis that the prohibition of discrimination is at the centre of the protection of human rights because it is present in all sources that protect human rights, both at the universal and at the regional level of international legal protection. However, despite this, there is still a need for its improvement because the practice still abounds with examples of discrimination and inadequate protection of victims of discrimination.
This paper is an attempt to find an answer to the question of whether the international community is finding the right ways to combat discrimination and whether, in this context, sufficient work is being done at the regional level as well. It has been 80 years since the Declaration of Philadelphia, 75 years since the founding of the Council of Europe and the same number of years since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, so these anniversaries are an opportunity to approach this analysis.
