Claudio Marta
We are deeply saddened to inform you
that Claudio Marta, Italian member of the Committee of Experts on Roma and
Travellers (MG-S-ROM) and Professor of Anthropology and Interethnic Relations at
the University of Napoli "L'Orientale", has died.
Claudio was very passionate about his work and was involved in many issues,
including those concerning Roma, Sinti and Travellers, anthropological and
social research, human rights, the fight against racism, and intolerance.
Claudio’s contribution to the work of the MG-S-ROM, of which he was a former
Vice-Chair, was invaluable and his dynamic presence and vibrant personality will
be sorely missed.
The Roma and Travellers Division and MG-S-ROM offer our sincere condolences to
his family at this time.

Council of
Europe Secretary General marks the Holocaust Remembrance Day
Strasbourg, 26 January 2006 – “we need deeds, not words” declared Terry
Davis on the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. “61 years
after the liberation of Auschwitz, Europe is not yet free of racism, anti-Semitism,
prejudice against Roma or homophobia. If anything, it has added new forms of
intolerance such as Islamophobia and to this shameful list”
“The fight against all forms of discrimination is one of the key priorities of
the Council of Europe. Our legal instruments, monitoring mechanisms and
awareness-raising campaigns are tools to tackle all forms of this evil”
concluded the Secretary General.
