Pogoji za učinkovito delovanje Zagovornika oziroma Zagovornice načela enakosti kot državne institucije za spodbujanje enakosti in zaščito pred diskriminacijo

Brvar, Petra (author), Štajnpihler Božič, Tilen (mentor)

Zagovornik oziroma zagovornica načela enakosti predstavlja slovensko nacionalno telo za načelo enakosti. Pravno podlago institutu, ki je bil ustanovljen oktobra 2016, predstavlja Zakon o varstvu pred diskriminacijo, ki je pričel v veljati maja istega leta. Glavni zadolžitvi instituta zagovornika sta boj proti diskriminaciji in spodbujanje enakosti. Slovenski institut zagovornika temelji na protidiskriminacijskem pravu Evropske unije, ki Republiki Sloveniji kot članici Unije predstavlja minimalne standarde. Prav zaradi nujnosti skladnosti nacionalnega in evropskega prava je na področju protidiskriminacijskega prava skozi leta v Republiki Sloveniji prišlo do večih sprememb. Sočasno se je z zakonodajo razvijal tudi institut, ki je od svoje prve oblike iz leta 2003, doživel mnoge spremembe. Poudarek v nalogi namenjam lastnosti učinkovitosti današnjega instituta zagovornika načela enakosti. V besedilu je predstavljenih pet pogojev ali kriterijev, na podlagi izpolnitve (oziroma neizpolnitve) katerih ocenjujem učinkovitost delovanja organa. Med pogoje uvrščam zagovornikovo neodvisnost in samostojnost, zadostna sredstva, celostno zakonodajo, naklonjen odnost javnosti in aktivno sodelovanje zagovornika z državnimi in nedržavnimi akterji.

• Title: The conditions enabling the effective functioning of the advocate of the principle of equality as the national body for the promotion of equal treatment and the protection against discrimination

Abstract

The Advocate of the Principle of Equality represents the Slovenian national body for the principle of equality. The legal basis for this institute, established in October 2016, is the Protection Against Discrimination Act, which entered into force in May of the same year. The main tasks of the Advocate are combating discrimination and promoting equality. The Slovenian body for equality is based on the European Union’s anti-discrimination law, which sets the minimum standard for the Republic of Slovenia as a member of the Union. The necessity of compliance between national and European law led to several changes in the field of anti-discrimination over the years. At the same time we can also notice the development of the institute, which has undergone many changes since it was first established in year 2003. The thesis mainly focuses on the effectiveness of the Advocate of the Principle of Equality. The text presents five conditions or criteria based on the fulfilment (or failure to fulfil) of which I evaluate the efficiency of the equality body. The conditions are as follows: the Advocates’ independence and autonomy, sufficient funding, comprehensive legislation, the perception of the public, and the active participation of advocates with state and non-state actors.
