Paragraph
Paragraph text
Despite those clearly defined international standards, Roma remain underrepresented or not represented in the public administrations, institutions and political parties of many States within Europe. The Special Rapporteur has found that no comparable studies or research have been conducted in other regions, nor did she receive relevant information from non-European States. Without information to the contrary, and given their marginalized status, she can only infer that Roma outside Europe experience comparable, if not heightened, political exclusion.
