Depuis 1981, la loi Moureaux sanctionne pénalement les discriminations reposant sur un critère racial. Il y a peu, la loi anti-discrimination du 25 février 2003 lui a donné une extension notable. Cette dernière législation intègre en droit interne deux directives européennes adoptées en 2000, qui imposent aux États membres de combattre toute forme de comportement discriminatoire. Si l'État fédéral a accompli sa part du devoir concernant le logement privé, les régions restent en défaut de transposition, de sorte que le secteur du logement social échappe encore à un certain nombre de normes anti-discrimination. La question est d'une actualité brûlante à l'heure où les affaires qui secouent le logement social ont révélé des pratiques préférentielles qui pourraient bien être considérées comme des discriminations, et à l'heure où le Wooncode flamand impose l'apprentissage de la langue néerlandaise comme condition d'accès au parc public. Le domaine du logement cristallise de manière emblématique les discriminations qu'ont à endurer les plus faibles. Dès lors qu'on a affaire à une prérogative fondamentale expressément consacrée par la Constitution (article 23), le droit au logement s'accommode particulièrement mal des inégalités de traitement qui ont pour effet de laisser sans toit les plus fragiles, poussés alors dans les bras sordides des marchands de sommeil. Nicolas Bernard examine comment se traduisent concrètement les pratiques discriminatoires dans le domaine du logement et quelles solutions il est possible de dégager en vue d'y mettre fin. Il était intéressant de faire le point sur la question d'autant plus que la réglementation belge en matière de discrimination s'apprête à subir une refonte substantielle.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine employment discrimination in the English-speaking Caribbean by analysing evidence from jurisdictions where anti-discrimination legislation has been enacted (namely Guyana, St Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago (T&T)).


Design/methodology/approach
This paper reviews existing anti-discrimination legislation in the three named countries, along with available court and tribunal decisions, with a view of determining whether the protections reasonably cover all minority groups.


Findings
It has been shown that, despite the existence of anti-discrimination law in T&T, St Lucia and Guyana, discrimination is still reported. T&T is the only jurisdiction with a functioning Equality Opportunity Commission and Tribunal, and where a wide range of cases has been adjudicated, relative to St Lucia and Guyana.


Research limitations/implications
Legislators and policy makers may wish to consider the findings of this research in making legislative amendments or enacting new laws, with a view to broadening the range of protections. Organisational practitioners may use the findings to assist them with interpreting the law (and their responsibilities to protected groups) and its intended impact on HR practice and, where necessary, make changes where current practices are incongruent with the legislation.


Practical implications
Legislators and policy makers may consider the findings of this research in making legislative amendments, with a view to broadening the range of protections. Organisational practitioners may use the findings to assist them with interpreting and implementing the law.


Originality/value
This paper reviews current Caribbean anti-discrimination legislation and cases, which to date has not been done. It highlights the omission of sexual orientation from legislation enacted across the region. There is currently a paucity of research on employment discrimination within Caribbean territories and specifically as it relates to the effect of applicable legislation. Consequently, this paper establishes a benchmark for future researchers and it informs organisational and societal stakeholders as to what may constitute prohibited practices.

"[This book offers a] critique of anti-discrimination law in Australia. The authors support their analysis and explanation of legislation and case law with carefully selected extracts from a broad range of decisions, law reform reports, and academic writers and commentators."--

Anti-discrimination is known as equal opportunity and treatment which is the right of every citizen in each aspects of life. The principles of anti-discrimination must be included in every product of legislation, including the employment regulation for persons with disabilities in Indonesia. Anti-discrimination in employment regulation for persons with disabilities have been included in the Indonesian constitution. In addition, it has also been adopted in various articles on legislation,regulating about employment for persons with disabilities, namely Law Number 3 of 2013, Law Number 19 of 2011 and LawNumber 8 of 2016. In substance, the law that guarantees the rights of persons with disabilities in a number of laws and regulations in Indonesia is sufficient. However, the regulation in Law Number 13 of 2003 on The Labor Law is not yet clear. Adjustments need to be made on Law Number 13 of 2003, Law Number 19 of 2011, and Law Number 8 of 2016. The need for the many provisions of labor laws that have not been implemented, thus it requires affirmative action to realize equal opportunities in all aspects of life and livelihood for persons with disabilities.

One prominent criticism of luck egalitarianism is that it requires either shameful revelations or otherwise problematic declarations by the state toward those who have had bad brute luck. Relational egalitarianism, by contrast, is portrayed as an alternative that requires no such revelations or declarations. I argue that this is false. Relational equality requires the state to draft anti-discrimination laws for both state and private action. The ideal of relational egalitarianism requires these laws to be asymmetric, that is to allow affirmative action for disadvantaged groups while prohibiting affirmative action for advantaged groups. Hence, the state needs to make a public declaration on which groups are privileged and which are underprivileged; and individuals need to reveal whether they belong to groups officially declared underprivileged. These declarations are no more problematic in this case than in the case of luck egalitarianism.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to summarize the limited body of research that focuses on the efficacy of sexual orientation anti-discrimination legislation in reducing discrimination.Design/methodology/approachReviews past research that documents overt and subtle forms of workplace discrimination against gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals and describes how legislation plays an important role in changing social norms and underlying attitudes.FindingsEmpirically demonstrates that legislation effectively can reduce discrimination.Originality/valueInforms legislative debate and promotes the expansion and adoption of national, state, and local legislation on sexual orientation anti-discrimination legislation.

Ethnicity is an academically contested concept and has multiple meanings in everyday communication. The present article analyses recent Swedish and Norwegian anti-discrimination law reform documents and asks how policymakers debate the meaning of ethnic equality, and the consequence of this debate for the incorporation of preferential treatment regulation in the law. The analysis suggests that ethnicity must be interpreted through a multifaceted lens of 'othering' in order to allow for 'appropriate' distinctions between relevant groups. This raises particularly challenging questions for proactive equality work, a central component of the anti-discrimination legislation in these countries.
