This submission was prepared in the context of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI)’s sixth cycle country monitoring work. In the submission, Amnesty International raises concerns that the new Law on Social Cards and an accompanying social card information system in Serbia were implemented without due consideration to their impact on human rights, including the right to social security and the right to equality and non-discrimination. The organisation considers that the law weakens an already inadequate social security system and, due to its disproportionate impact on the members of the Roma community, further exacerbates social and economic exclusion.
