The prohibition of discrimination and the protection of diversity in the light of the European Court of Human Rights

The ever-changing political and economic situation of the world has sparked racist violence but, more generally, racist attitudes in all European societies. On the other hand, the policies for dealing with them exist only the last few years. The Council of Europe is the leader in these systematic efforts. For this reason, an issue to be investigated is the interpretation of Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights , which has been adopted with the principle of non-discrimination as one of the most important guarantees of respect for human rights. In particular, the aim of this paper is precisely the review and critical analysis of this principle, which is particularly weak in the ECHR text, since it does not incorporate a total prohibition of discrimination in all areas of government activity. It focuses on the case-law of the Court, which has progressively interpreted Article 14 by analogy with the challenges of nowadays, while enriching the normative content of the individual articles of the ECHR in areas such as new forms of discrimination, education and indirect discrimination. Finally, is analyzed the entry into force in 2005 of an additional Protocol to the ECHR, which extends the scope of this principle to the ECHR system. In a few words, this is a study aimed at highlighting the importance of protecting diversity in modern Europe.
