The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights has considered the nature and scope of art 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which enshrines the right to non-discrimination and the equal enjoyment of human rights. The Grand Chamber held that the education policy in the Czech Republic, which resulted in the majority of Roma children being placed in special schools designed for the mentally handicapped, indirectly discriminated against the applicants on the basis of their race in relation to their right to education contrary to art 14.
