Abstract

Discrimination interferes with human dignity, a value protected by human rights instruments like the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Once domestic remedies are exhausted, individuals may approach the ECtHR for alleged violations of the Convention. In the Czech Republic, only 56 cases related to Article 14 (prohibiting discrimination) have been heard, with violations found in just three. This paper analyzes all relevant ECtHR decisions concerning the Czech Republic, using content analysis. Additionally, it explores the alignment between ECtHR case law and Czech domestic anti-discrimination law, aiming to fill a gap in public data and contribute to expert discussions.
