The Treatment of Discrimination Cases in the Republic of Kosovo under the European Convention on Human Rights and the National Legal Framework

Abstract

The treatment of discrimination cases in judicial practice and the relationship between normative acts represent the implementation of the principle of non-discrimination. The relationship between the European Convention on Human Rights and the legal acts of the Republic of Kosovo are the main basis for resolving discrimination cases. The European Convention on Human Rights has been incorporated into the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo as an international instrument, while regarding the rule of law on the issue of discrimination, Kosovo also applies other laws that enable the guarantee and respect of the principle of non-discrimination. Our study emphasizes the treatment of discrimination cases in practice in the Republic of Kosovo, and how such cases are resolved on the basis of the ECHR and the legal framework. But, is there a relationship between the relationship between the ECHR and other laws in the Republic of Kosovo?! To what extent is the principle of non-discrimination truly established as a constitutional principle? The well-integrated relationship between international acts and local laws reflects the path to achieving solutions to discrimination cases.
