CELE MAI ÎNCĂLCATE DREPTURI ALE COPILULUI ÎN REGIUNEA TRANSNISTREANĂ. PROVOCĂRI ȘI SOLUȚII

When we approach the human rights situation in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, we must always take into account the status of this territory. The territory to the left of the Dniester is isolated, closed and not controlled by the constitutional authorities of the Republic of Moldova. Moreover, according to the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova and more recently, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, this territory is occupied by the Russian Federation, due to its military presence. However, because the Transnistrian region legally belongs to the state of the Republic of Moldova, it has positive obligations to promote and protect fundamental rights and freedoms in this territory. Thus, the solutions and recommendations at the end of this article are largely addressed to the authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
