Roma Rights 1/2001: Access to
Justice
Roma Rights 1/2001 addresses the theme of "access
to justice". The articles in this issue cover various aspects
of justice as they pertain to Roma, and especially how individuals
may gain access to courts. The articles lay bare some aspects
of the often opaque machinery of domestic and international
legal systems. The contents of Roma Rights 1/2001, including
