Intersectional discrimination and EU law: Time to revisit Parris 跨部门歧视与欧盟法律:是时候重新审视帕里斯了

In this article it is argued that the CJEU judgment in Parris needs to be revisited to recognise that intersectional discrimination is covered by the EU anti-discrimination Directives. There are several reasons for this. First, a prohibition of intersectional discrimination is now laid down in an EU anti-discrimination Directive (Directive, 2023/970/EC); second, this would fit in with developments in the EU Commission, Council and Parliament; third Parris turns on its own facts; fourth a purposive or capacious interpretation of these Directives already allows for such discrimination to be included in the Directives; fifth, the shift in CJEU case law towards a intra-group comparison for discrimination can make comparisons in intersectional discrimination cases easier. It is argued that without acknowledging that intersectional discrimination is covered by the EU anti-discrimination Directives, victims of such discrimination, like Mr Parris and others, like headscarf wearing women, might be left without a remedy when they suffer discrimination on a combination of grounds.
本文认为,需要重新审视欧盟法院在 Parris 案中的判决,以承认欧盟反歧视指令涵盖了交叉歧视。这样做有几个原因。首先,欧盟反歧视指令(指令,2023/970/EC)现已规定禁止交叉歧视;其次,这与欧盟委员会、理事会和议会的发展相吻合;第三,Parris 案是基于其自身的事实;第四,对这些指令的目的性解释或宽泛解释已经允许将此类歧视纳入指令;第五,欧盟法院判例法转向对歧视进行群体内比较,可以使交叉歧视案件的比较更加容易。有观点认为,如果不承认欧盟反歧视指令涵盖了交叉歧视,那么像 Parris 先生和其他一些人(如佩戴头巾的妇女)这样的歧视受害者在遭受基于多种理由的歧视时,就可能得不到补救。

On the margins of refuge: Queer Syrian refugees and the politics of belonging and mobility in post-2019 Lebanon 在避难所的边缘:叙利亚同性恋难民与 2019 年后黎巴嫩的归属和流动政治

This paper explores the dual marginalization of LGBTIQ+ Syrian refugees in Lebanon, highlighting the interplay between national policies on deportation and the crackdown on the LGBTIQ+ community post-2019. Lebanon, home to 1.5 million Syrian refugees—the highest per capita globally—is a case study in how social, political, economic, and legal frameworks do not merely overlook refugee challenges but actively intensify their isolation. Particularly for LGBTIQ+ Syrian refugees, everyday experiences of violence, discrimination, stigmatization, and isolation are exacerbated by these frameworks. In 2022, this situation worsened when Lebanon's Minister of Interior, yielding to pressure from religious groups, directed security forces to disrupt gatherings within the LGBTIQ+ community. Employing qualitative research methods, this study delves into the compounded effects of these policies on the intersectional vulnerabilities of queer Syrian refugees. It examines their perceptions of vulnerability and security, underlining the profound impacts of overlapping decisions on deportation and the suppression of LGBTIQ+ rights.
本文探讨了在黎巴嫩的 LGBTIQ+ 叙利亚难民的双重边缘化问题,强调了驱逐出境的国家政策与 2019 年后对 LGBTIQ+ 群体的镇压之间的相互作用。黎巴嫩是 150 万叙利亚难民的家园--全球人均难民数最多的国家--是社会、政治、经济和法律框架如何不仅忽视难民的挑战,而且积极加剧其孤立的案例研究。特别是对于叙利亚的 LGBTIQ+ 难民来说,这些框架加剧了他们日常遭受的暴力、歧视、侮辱和孤立。2022 年,黎巴嫩内政部长屈服于宗教团体的压力,指挥安全部队破坏 LGBTIQ+ 社区内的集会,使情况进一步恶化。本研究采用定性研究方法,深入探讨了这些政策对叙利亚同性恋难民交叉脆弱性的复合影响。研究探讨了他们对脆弱性和安全的看法,强调了关于驱逐出境和压制 LGBTIQ+ 权利的重叠决定所产生的深远影响。

The prohibition of discrimination and the workers’ right to maternity or paternity leave in light of the drafting history of Article 40 of the Constitution of Uganda and sections 56 and 57 of the Employment Act 根据《乌干达宪法》第 40 条和《就业法》第 56 和 57 条的起草历史,禁止歧视和 工人休产假或陪产假的权利

Workers’ rights are provided for under Article 40 of the Constitution (1995) and in other pieces of legislation. Sections 56 and 57 of the Employment Act (2006) (the Act) provide for the rights to maternity leave and paternity leave respectively. Section 56(1) of the Act provides that ‘[a] female employee shall, as a consequence of pregnancy have the right’ to maternity leave as a result of ‘child birth or miscarriage.’ On the other hand, section 57(1) of the Act provides ‘[a] male employee shall, immediately after the delivery or miscarriage of a wife, have the right to’ paternity leave. It is evident that under section 56, for a female employee to qualify for maternity leave, she doesn’t have to be married. However, for a male employee to qualify for paternity leave, he has to be married. The reason for this is explained in the drafting history of section 57. It is argued that this amounts to discrimination on the ground of marital status. It is also argued that section 56(1) is only applicable to biological mothers and excludes adoptive mothers, commissioning parents (in cases of surrogacy) and those who have committed abortion. This is also discriminatory but could be justified in the case of commissioning parents, adoptive parents and those who have committed abortion.
宪法》(1995 年)第 40 条和其他立法规定了工人的权利。就业法》(2006 年)(《就业法》)第 56 和 57 条分别规定了产假和陪产假的权利。该法第 56(1)条规定,"女性雇员因怀孕而有权 "因 "分娩或流产 "休产假。另一方面,该法第 57(1)条规定,"男性雇员在妻子分娩或流产后有权立即休陪产假"。显然,根据第 56 条的规定,女性雇员不一定要已婚才有资格休产假。然而,男性雇员必须已婚才有资格休陪产假。第 57 条的起草历史解释了这样做的原因。有人认为,这相当于基于婚姻状况的歧视。还有人认为,第 56(1)条只适用于生身母亲,不包括养母、委托父母(代孕情况下)和堕 胎母亲。这也是歧视性的,但对于委托父母、养父母和堕胎者来说是合理的。

The role of European equality bodies to address algorithmic discrimination 欧洲平等机构在解决算法歧视方面的作用
IF 1.1 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2024-05-29 DOI: 10.1177/13582291241257201

European Union (EU) seems to have the aim to strengthen the role of equality bodies and encourage the expansion of their scope of application, their functions and their powers. This implies that they can play an essential role in challenging discriminatory decisions made through algorithmic systems. Due to the possibility they have to access information, to issue binding decisions in individual or collective cases of discrimination or to initiate court proceedings in their own name, they seem like the best positioned to offer an effective protection against algorithmic discrimination. In this article, we study the latest regulatory proposals relating to these bodies and which functions they must carry out to help people that have been discriminated against by artificial intelligence systems. Notwithstanding we argue that equality bodies have a privileged position to deal with discriminatory automated decisions, they need independence and human, technical and financial resources to perform all its tasks and to exercise all its competences effectively, and this is not always guaranteed.
欧洲联盟(欧盟)的目标似乎是加强平等机构的作用,鼓励扩大其适用范围、职能和权力。这意味着它们可以在挑战通过算法系统做出的歧视性决定方面发挥重要作用。由于平等机构可以获取信息,在个人或集体歧视案件中发布具有约束力的决定,或以自己的名义提起法庭诉讼,因此它们似乎最有能力提供有效保护,防止算法歧视。在本文中,我们将研究与这些机构有关的最新监管提案,以及它们必须履行哪些职能,以帮助受到人工智能系统歧视的人们。尽管我们认为,平等机构在处理歧视性自动决策方面具有特殊地位,但它们需要独立性以及人力、技术和财政资源,才能完成所有任务并有效行使所有权限,而这一点并非总能得到保证。

An absolute shield: Qualified immunity, police misconduct and black lives matter 绝对的盾牌合格豁免权、警察不当行为和黑人生命问题

Before the global spotlight ascended upon nationwide efforts to codify into law that Black Lives Matter, specifically, police accountability against the use of excessive force against unarmed civilians, qualified immunity has silently flourished throughout America. Created to shield police officers and other government officials for the actions they engage on the job, this long-standing judicial doctrine continues to proliferate a culture of near-zero accountability when police officers engage in misconduct, which for communities of color, oftentimes results in deadly outcomes against unarmed civilians. This article will first revisit the development and legacy of qualified immunity, followed by analyzing its universal defense from police unions, then shifting to a data-rich illustration of disciplinary data highlighting the systemically designed outcomes of qualified immunity via the New York Police Department, before providing concluding thoughts. Ultimately, this article asserts that the retrogressive outcomes of police disciplinary inquiries, especially with respect to communities of color, is operating as designed, whereas efforts to review and revisit its structure and practices threaten a longstanding culture of disregard and near-zero accountability.
在全美努力将 "黑人生命至上"(Black Lives Matter),特别是警察对手无寸铁的平民过度使用武力的责任编纂成法律成为全球瞩目的焦点之前,合格豁免权已在全美悄然兴起。这一由来已久的司法理论旨在为警察和其他政府官员在工作中的行为提供庇护,但当警察实施不当行为时,这一理论却继续助长了近乎零问责的文化,而对于有色人种社区而言,这种不当行为往往会对手无寸铁的平民造成致命后果。本文将首先重温合格豁免权的发展与传承,然后分析警察工会对其进行的普遍辩护,最后通过纽约警察局丰富的纪律数据说明合格豁免权的系统设计结果,最后提出结论性意见。最后,本文断言,警察纪律调查的倒退结果,尤其是对有色人种社区的倒退结果,是按照设计运行的,而审查和重新审视其结构和做法的努力威胁着长期存在的无视和近乎零问责的文化。

Sexual harassment as a gender inequality and a form of workplace discrimination: A South African perspective 性骚扰是一种性别不平等和工作场所歧视:南非视角

Sexual harassment is not a new phenomenon in South Africa. The continued existence of sexual harassment in the workplace specifically targeted at female employees undermines the constitutional rights to equality, human dignity, privacy, physical and psychological integrity, and fair labour practices. Against this backdrop, this article examines the different contributory factors that exacerbate or provide an enabling environment for sexual harassment to persist namely; gender inequality, sexist attitudes, and inefficient grievance procedures. Using an in-depth analysis of literature scholarly works, government reports, and legislative frameworks aimed at preventing sexual harassment in the workplace, and the selected jurisprudence of the courts, this article scrutinises the phenomenon of sexual harassment as a gendered harm. It evaluates whether there are adequate measures aimed at assisting victims of sexual harassment and gender inequalities in South Africa. Finally, in its conclusion, the article argues that, for labour legislation to efficiently address the prevalence of sexual harassment it should adopt a threefold function namely to address sexual harassment as a form of an unfair labour practice, gender discrimination and psychosocial harm.
性骚扰在南非并非新现象。工作场所持续存在专门针对女性雇员的性骚扰,损害了宪法规定的平等权、人格尊严权、隐私权、 身心健全权和公平劳动权。在此背景下,本文研究了加剧性骚扰或为性骚扰持续存在提供有利环境的各种因素,即性别不 平等、性别歧视态度和低效的申诉程序。本文通过对学术著作、政府报告、旨在预防工作场所性骚扰的立法框架以及法院判例的深入分析,将性骚扰现象视为一种性别伤害。文章评估了南非是否有足够的措施来帮助性骚扰和性别不平等的受害者。最后,文章在结论中认为,劳动立法要有效解决性骚扰问题,就应发挥三重功能,即把性骚扰作 为一种不公平的劳动做法、性别歧视和社会心理伤害加以解决。

Unleashing the anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty: University of Bristol v Abrahart (EHRC intervening) [2024] EWHC 299 (KB) 释放预期合理调整义务:布里斯托尔大学诉 Abrahart(平等与人权委员会介入)[2024] EWHC 299 (KB)

On 14 February 2024, the High Court upheld the decision of the Bristol County Court in University of Bristol v Dr Robert Abrahart. Ms Abrahart, a physics undergraduate, took her own life in April 2018, the morning before she was meant to deliver an oral presentation. The claim brought by Ms Abrahart’s father was that in failing to remove or adjust the requirement for oral assessments, the University had discriminated against her on the basis of her disability. The High Court upheld the discrimination claims under the Equality Act 2010 while dismissing the claim in negligence on the basis that the University did not owe Ms Abrahart a common law duty of care. This note discusses the contrasting moves made by the High Court in, on the one hand, lowering the bar for finding a breach of the anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty, and on the other hand, raising the bar for finding an assessment method to be a ‘competence standard’ set by universities. Although arising in relation to the very specific facts of this case, the implications of the ruling in Abrahart are far reaching.
2024 年 2 月 14 日,高等法院维持了布里斯托尔郡法院对布里斯托尔大学诉罗伯特-阿布拉哈特博士案的判决。阿布拉哈特女士是一名物理学本科生,2018 年 4 月,在她本应进行口头陈述的前一天上午自杀身亡。阿布拉哈特女士的父亲提出的诉讼请求是,大学未能取消或调整口头评估的要求,是基于她的残疾对她的歧视。高等法院支持根据 2010 年《平等法》提出的歧视索赔,但驳回了疏忽索赔,理由是大学对阿布拉哈特女士不负有普通法上的照顾义务。本说明讨论了高等法院采取的截然不同的举措,一方面降低了认定违反预期合理调整义务的门槛,另一方面提高了认定大学设定的 "能力标准 "为评估方法的门槛。Abrahart 案的裁决虽然与本案的具体事实有关,但其影响却十分深远。
