Equality and Non-Discrimination in the EU

The Foundations of the EU Legal Order

Elgar Studies in European Law and Policy

乔凡尼Zaccaroni,讲师是用欧元opean and Comparative Law, University of Malta

Discussing the fundamental role played by equality and non-discrimination in the EU legal order, this insightful book explores the positive and negative elements that have contributed to the consolidation of the process of EU legal integration. It provides an in-depth analysis of the three key dimensions of equality in the EU: equality as a value, equality as a principle and equality as a right.

‘Equality is the core concept of justice, discrimination is opposed to the rule of law. Giovanni Zaccaroni's book is a most valuable key to understanding the complexity and broadness of equality as a concept in EU law and all ways the EU opposes discrimination.’
