In our analyses we focus on the fact that in 2012 Slovenia was judged as systematically violating the right to respect for private life by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), due to its “erasure” in 1992 of residence permits for more than 25,000 persons from other former Yugoslav countries. The consequence of the erasure amounted to a stripping from the erased of the right to have rights. In fact, it was a form of administrative ethnic cleansing. Slovenia did not officially recognize the existence of a violation until 1999, when its Constitutional Court passed a judgment on the issue. Yet the erasure and its appalling consequences continued. Slovenian state authorities made numerous attempts to remedy the situation, but these efforts were always, at least in part, subverted by the rightist political forces. |
