Abstract

Impact assessment of regulations and public policy documents is regulated by the Law on the Planning System of the Republic of Serbia and the accompanying Regulation on the Methodology of Public Policy Management, Impact Analysis of Public Policies and Regulations, and the Content of Individual Public Policy Documents. Impact assessment as an analytical process aims to determine the potential negative as well as positive effects that a regulation or a public policy document can cause on certain segments of society. In this paper, the author’s focus is on the social impact assessment in connection with the implementation of the provisions of the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination which introduces the rule that a public authority, when preparing a new regulation or a public policy document of importance for the realization of the rights of socioeconomically disadvantaged persons or groups of persons, makes an impact assessment of their compliance with the principle of equality. This provision introduced by the latest amendments to the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination, as an umbrella antidiscrimination law in the Republic of Serbia, contributes to the development of the human rights impact assessment.
