On 31 January 2011 an Interdepartmental working group of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia issued an Analysis of Institutional Arrangement of promotion of Equality and Protection from Discrimination in the Republic of Slovenia. The report found that Slovenia only partly meets the requirements of the international law in this field and that a reform of institutions and legal framework is needed. The analysis showed that the system of competent bodies is scattered, that these competent bodies do not perform all the tasks that they should according to the international obligations (e.g. they do not monitor systematically the situation of marginalized groups, they do not prepare analyses and publish reports on their situation and do not monitor the effectiveness of adopted measures). Moreover the protection of rights of some vulnerable groups does not fall within the scope of competencies of any of the state bodies (e.g. LGBT community, the elderly). The analysis did not review only obligations imposed by the EU directives, but also by other international obligations, such as Paris Principles, obligations deriving from the Convention on the rights of people with disabilities, Convention on the rights of a child and Convention on elimination of discrimination against women.
