EU Anti-Discrimination Law

The two European anti-discrimination directives adopted under Article 19 TFEU (Directive 2000/43 and Directive 2000/78) prohibit all forms of discrimination based on race or ethnic origin as well as all forms of discrimination in employment and occupation based on religion or convictions, handicap, age or sexual orientation. These training materials have been designed for members of the judiciary (judges, prosecutors, advisors), legal practitioners (lawyers in private practice, from trade unions or employers’ associations, NGOs, labour inspectorates or equality bodies) and academics (university professors, law lecturers). All resources are available in English and many are available in other languages. Produced in the framework of the European Commission's Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme 2014-2020.
