Initiative

At the end of July, President Vladimir Voronin addressed a letter to Parliament calling for the revision of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova so as to establish nationwide a new mechanism entrusted to settle domestically any human rights litigations. The goal of that institution would be to issue final judgement on the human rights violations. In his letter to the Parliament, President pointed that Constitutional Court should be delegated the responsibility to rule on any complaints or applications submitted by legal or natural entities as regards violations of human rights and freedoms provided for in Title II of the Constitution or any other international treaty Moldova was part to, as a result of a law, administrative act, court judgement, or any omission of public authorities.

President’s initiative is in line with the recommendations repeatedly made by international and domestic organizations working in the field to amend the law so as to allow natural entities to appeal in Constitutional Court.

Nevertheless, many voiced their lingering concerns with regard to the success of the initiative citing many more reforms that failed recently, inefficiency of court rulings’ enforcement, as well as deficiencies in appointing judges.
