But perhaps the greatest significance of these cases lies in their very presence on the docket of Europe’s highest rights tribunal. A decade ago, few minority victims would have been inclined or able to seek legal remedies for discrimination.
但这两起案件能够在欧洲最高权利法院进行审理，这本身就是它们最深刻的意义所在。10年前，很少有人会同情少数族裔的受害者，他们也很少能为自己受到的歧视寻求法律上的赔偿。某些受害者的呼声能引起人们的关注，这表明日益扩大的法律权力已经在欧洲成了积极变革的力量。
