So far no complaints were lodged to the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Human Rights Committee against Slovenia. However, in its 2003 concluding observations following the review of the periodic reports submitted by Slovenia the Committee found several areas where activity of the state is required in order to remedy discriminatory situations of Roma, ‘erased’ people and unrecognized national minorities. Similar concerns were raised in the Universal Periodic Review in 2010.

The European Committee on Social Rights, in its conclusions on the situation regarding implementation of the European Social Charter (revised) in Slovenia, published in early 2012, established that the situation in Slovenia does not meet the requirements of the Charter with regard to: - the right of Roma to adequate housing - the criteria for adequate housing concerning size do not apply to housing available for rent on the free market resulting in substandard housing conditions for some migrant workers; insufficient measures were taken by public authorities to improve the substandard housing conditions of a considerable number of Roma in Slovenia, - the right to affordable housing - nationals of other States Parties to the Charter and to the 1961 Charter lawfully residing or working regularly in Slovenia are not entitled to equal treatment regarding eligibility for non-profit housing.
