IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
Dissemination of information, dialogue with NGOs and between social
partners
a) Dissemination of information about legal protection against discrimination (Article
After its institution, UNAR launched a number of initiatives aimed at raising awareness
(seminars and other public relations events), some of which have had an impact.
According to its annual reports, UNAR has achieved a good degree of visibility, and this
has been accompanied by an increase in the attention paid by legal scholars to anti-
discrimination issues. Since 2014, however, there has been a gradual decrease in the
intensity of these sorts of activities. Notwithstanding that some work, beside the activity
of the contact centre, was undertaken during 2018 after the appointment of the new
director, this is still a weak point. It is worth mentioning that a consultative committee on
LGBT issues has been set up, comprising representative of NGOs and associations
working on LGBT issues.52
Beyond UNAR’s activities, there are no specific governmental initiatives to disseminate
information about legal protection against discrimination. In fact, OSCAD has the task of
protecting victims rather than disseminating information on anti-discrimination law.
Occasional actions have been promoted by the regions and local authorities.
b) Measures to encourage dialogue with NGOs with a view to promoting the principle
2000/78)
Dialogue with NGOs on race and ethnicity should be one of UNAR’s priorities.The most
relevant activity in this regard is the creation of the consultative committee on LGBT
issues, since it comprises representative of associations and NGOs working on LGBT
issues.53
c) Measures to promote dialogue between social partners to give effect to the principle
of equal treatment within workplace practices, codes of practice, workforce
In Italy, no measure has been taken to promote dialogue between social partners so as
to combat discrimination.
d) Addressing the situation of Roma and Travellers
As coordinator of Italy’s national Roma strategy, UNAR continues to promote the
application of the strategy at both national and regional levels.54 So far, however, there
have been no visible results, nor have any actions been carried out to apply the strategy.
At any rate, no public documents, reports or projects have been disseminated to explain
how UNAR is implementing the strategy.
