Abstract

The functioning of a multi-ethnic society in which the diversity of all citizens regardless of their ethnicity will be consistently respected is a challenge for building a society without discrimination. In this regard, the role of the Ombudsman is of a particular importance, they strengthen their role even more when coming up with recommendations and agenda in tacking concrete steps in promoting and protecting marginalised groups. Given that discrimination is a socially negative phenomenon it is also contrary to the democratic trends of modern society, international organizations and NGOs, so in this respect these institutions and organizations pay special attention in the agenda for the promotion and protection of human rights, and especially the right to equality and non-discrimination, which is also a fundamental element of international human rights law. Discrimination in general, and discrimination on ethnic grounds in particular, is one of the most serious forms of violation of human rights and freedoms. The aim of this paper is to show the role of the ombudsman in the promotion and protection against discrimination of any kind.
