Public statement on the adoption of a draft constitutional act on the erased
The Peace Institute assesses the act of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia confirming the Draft Constitutional Law and sending it to the National Assembly for adoption, as another act in the range of discriminatory actions targeted against the erased people of Slovenia. In its content the Draft Constitutional Law contradicts the 2003 Constitutional Court Decision (especially as concerns the retroactive recognition of statuses since the erasure on 26 February 1992), creates different categories of the erased people, is discriminatory towards the erased, enables new withdrawals of statuses, denies responsibility of the state bodies for the erasure and annuls the right of the erased people to compensation. Therefore the Peace Institute assesses that the stated Draft Constitutional Law is not an appropriate measure to remedy the injustices, caused to the erased.
