  • Relatives play inside the home of Helena Kocková in Ostrava, Czech Republic on Feb. 25, 2012. Helena Kocková is one of 18 Roma children who were represented in the D.H. and Others v. Czech Republic case, the first challenge to systemic racial segregation in education to reach the European Court of Human Rights.  When this case was first brought in 2000, Roma children in the Czech Republic were 27 times more likely to be placed in "special schools," intended for the mentally disabled, than non-Roma children. In 2007, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights ruled that this pattern of segregation violated nondiscrimination protections in the European Convention on Human Rights. Despite this landmark decision, little change has occurred: the "special schools" have been renamed but follow the same substandard curriculum and Roma continue to be assigned to these schools in disproportionate numbers. The process of integration has barely begun.
