Soren Kirkegaard When Kirkegaard wrote this sentence some 100 years ago it was not necessarily a truism, but it actually captured a forward looking philosophy. We all know that Moldova is going through a complicated process of transition, in the economic, political and social domains. 100 years is not a long time, 7 years are even shorter. The point is, if we can learn, we can live. The UNDP supported National Human Development Reports for Moldova are about learning and, therefore, about living, about Sustainable Human Development. The Republic of Moldova is a young nation struggling with the complex issues of state and people, private and public, urban and rural, national and foreign. The Human Development Reports attempt to provide a yardstick of all of the above, to measure the present status and perceptions and to recommend a possible way ahead. The Report this year is blunt and analytical, it takes stock of the past and points to the future, and it learns and lives. It learns, but it only lives if it is part of a process. And that process will be the continuous dialogue among the citizens of the country, between the state and its people, civil society and Government, Moldova and foreign nations. Moldova has history and traditions, by learning from the past, we can shape the future too. The present Report is part of that history, but used actively, it can be part of the future. Read it and live it, together we can make it. Soren Tejno UNDP Resident Representative UN Resident Coordinator National Human Development Report Republic of Moldova - 1998 iii iv National Human Development Report Republic of Moldova - 1998 BASIC FACTS ABOUT MOLDOVA Official Name: Republic of Moldova Geographical Position: The Republic of Moldova is a state in the South-East of Europe, situated between Romania and Ukraine, in the basin of the Rivers Prut and Nistru Area: 33.8 thousand km2 Population: 4,305,000 people Population Density: 127 people/km2 Capital: Chisinau (about 700 thousand inhabitants) National Holiday: The Independence Day (August 27) National Banner: Three equal vertical stripes of blue, yellow and red (the first one near the flagstaff) with the emblem of Moldova in the center, on the yellow stripe Form of Statehood: Republic The Head of the State: President National Human Development Report Republic of Moldova - 1998 v INTRODUCTION The analysis of the human development processes in the Republic of Moldova is very timely, as it corresponds to the needs of the current stage of transition towards the different pattern of the society organization based on the establishment of the institutions necessary for the proper functioning of a democratic state founded on the principles of the rule of law and market economy. Obviously, the changes which took place in the political and economic system, in the social life and in the mentality of the population of Moldova affected the process of human development, the effects of these changes being, in many cases, negative and unfavorable. Indeed, the "historical interval" passed through by the ex-communist countries is marked by a serious long-lasting crisis as well as by the fundamental changes, accompanied by the inevitable economic imbalances and social tension. The identification, analysis and solution of the complicated human development problems characteristic of this period is very difficult, especially given the lack of experience in the respective field. The role of the state and the efficiency of the government during the transition period is determined by the cognizable effects of the economic and social policies, by the ability of the public authorities to actualize transformations at the lowest social costs as well as by the degree of understanding (acceptance) of changes and of the political responsibility for the success (failure) of the decisions taken. The efficient implementation of reforms is impossible without the unified political will of all the power structures and without the support of the majority of citizens. Although some experts state that the Republic of Moldova is doing much better than other CIS member-states in terms of promoting reforms, the reality does not always prove this statement. The elaboration of the legal framework necessary for the implementation of reforms and making it functional is very slow. The state sector accounts for 48% of the social capital of the nation's economy. The level of productivity and competitiveness remains low. The stocks of goods produced by the national economy equal, on average, one third of the country's GDP. The modification of the direct and indirect functions of the state in promoting the economic and social development is taking place with great difficulties. Indirect mechanisms are practically not operational, with state institutions continuing to use the practice of direct interventions: administrative measures, subsidies, targeted credits, etc. The inconsistency and incoherence of reforms implemented during the previous years have led to the aggravation of the crisis and to an increase in the social costs. At the beginning of 1997, the Republic of Moldova entered the most difficult stage of its transition process. Essential changes and profound reforms, which could "set in motion" the market economy mechanisms, add dynamism to the process of human development and social cohesion and contribute to the expanding of choices, cannot be postponed anymore. At the same time, social costs might further increase, once again putting to the test the patience of the population. As of to date, the country has come to a multidimensional deadlock characterized by the stagnation of the economy (following a sudden decline in 1990-1994); the external and internal debt which has surpassed the critical level; the growing commercial balance deficit; the unprecedented financial difficulties; the mutual debts of the economic entities and those to the state; the increasing salary and pension arrears; the inefficiency of the production process and non-competitiveness of local products; the energy sector crisis; the growth of shadow economy; the malfunctioning of the fiscal system, among many others. The situation is even more difficult given that all the above-mentioned phenomena and processes are taking place under the conditions of a huge financial crisis in the CIS area. Obviously, the human development crisis is deepening which is manifested by the intensification of the process of the populations pauperization, the proliferation of poverty, the increased unemployment and malnutrition; the depreciation of the public education, health care and social protection systems and of the infrastructure; the social anxiety, depression and different forms of social tension; the increased distrust in public authorities. Despite the fact that the Human Development Index, which has slightly increased as compared to 1994, remains at a low level, the Republic of Moldova is still ranked as one of the countries with the medium level of human development in the HDI classification of the nations made by the UN. The 1998 National Human Development Report (NHDR) is focused, primarily, on the problems vi National Human Development Report Republic of Moldova - 1998 related to the evolution and efficiency of the institutions and mechanisms functioning in the state based on the rule of law and their role in the process of transformations. It also addresses the most difficult aspect of the long-lasting transition - poverty. The pauperization of the population, the lack of proper information and the inability of people to accept new mentality, behavior and different life style are considered to be the most important impediments to the implementation of reforms and the achievement of sustainable human development. The final solution of the problem of poverty entirely depends on the acceleration of the fundamental reforms and on the speeding up of economic and human development processes. In this context, to be highlighted is that all the social protection measures have a very specific nature; under the critical circumstances, they may be necessary to undertake even in the most developed countries. It is widely known that human freedom gives an impulse to

    Strasbourg, 29 October 2004 Restricted CDL(2004)104 Opinion 315/2004 Engl. only EUROPEAN COMMISSION FOR DEMOCRACY THROUGH LAW (VENICE COMMISSION) Amendments to the Constitution of Moldova – Introduction of the individual complaint to the Constitutional Court Comments by Mr G. Nolte (Substitute member, Germany) This document will not be distributed at the meeting. Please bring this copy. Ce document ne sera pas distribué en réunion. Prière de vous munir de cet exemplaire. CDL(2004)104 - 2 - The initiative to introduce a constitutional complaint procedure in Moldova is to be welcomed. Such a procedure could enable the Moldovan judiciary to better deal with cases that might other- wise be brought to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. As far as cases will nevertheless brought to the European Court the last instance judgment of the Constitutional Court last instance is likely to be better reasoned which in turn would result in a lower number of judgments by the European Court which find against the State of Moldova. To a certain extent, the Moldovan draft amendment can be compared to the German experience. The German constitution, the Grundgesetz, originally (in 1949) did also not contain a consti- tutional complaints procedure. This procedure was first introduced by simple legislation. After its success in practice the constitutional complaints procedure was finally introduced into the Grundgesetz in 1969. The establishment of the constitutional complaints procedure in Germany into the Grundgesetz, however, was not connected with a changing of the composition of the German Constitutional Court. The same is true for the original introduction of the constitutional complaints procedure on the basis of simple legislation.

The concept of Republic of Moldova’s neutrality in the context of NATO’s eastward extension Besides the fact that the dislocation of foreign military troops on the territory of the Republic of Moldova is inadmissible, the Constitution sets no other rules for being neutral. The dictionary of international public law (Bucharest, 1982) defines “permanent neutrality” as the position of the states that, through official documents, determined by their internal legislation (ex. Switzerland) or the decision of international conferences (Switzerland, 1815, Belgium, 1831 and 1937, Luxemburg, 1867 etc.) assumed the responsibility to never participate in a war (…). Besides the fact that they are committed to not participating in a war, states that are permanently neutral are committed not to sign, during peace times, documents that in case of an armed conflict could involve them in the war.

  • Republic of Moldova
    ATTACKS ON JUSTICE – REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Highlights A return to the old practice of exerting insidious political influence over the judiciary, compounded by ill-considered legislation, threatens to undermine the gains of Moldova’s legal and judicial reform process. The 2002 constitutional reforms have increased the possibility of executive interference in the judiciary. Between 2002 and 2003, the Moldovan Parliament passed legislative reforms including new civil and criminal codes, amendments to the laws on the status of judges and the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The practice of so-called “telephone justice” – where government officials instruct judges on how to decide particular cases – is widespread. Moreover, judges enjoy little internal independence. Independent since 1991, the Republic of Moldova is currently discussing EU integration, while there are still tensions with regard to the self-proclaimed republic of Transnistria, unrecognized internationally. BACKGROUND Following the collapse of the USSR, the Republic of Moldova gained its independence in August 1991. It became a member of the United Nations in 1992 (http://web.amnesty.org/report2004/activities-index-eng), and joined the Council of Europe in 1995, having ratified some 55 European treaties (http://conventions.coe.int/Treaty/Commun/ListeStats.asp?PO=MOL&MA=999&CM =17&CL=ENG), including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Article 4 of the 1994 Constitution (http://xiv.parlament.md/en/legalfoundation/constitution/) gives priority to international regulations over domestic legislation. The country is currently discussing European integration expected in 2007: with 72 per cent of the population supporting the integration, Moldova signed a Partnership and Co-operation Agreement with the EU on 28 November 1994, and on 22 February 2005 an action plan was approved, reinforcing EU-Moldovan relations.

What challenges has your Court encountered in the past, for example in the field of asylum law, taxation law or social security law? Social rights are equal to individual rights that benefit from appropriate instruments for providing legal protection, while the expressis verbis insertion of these rights in the Constitution allows the Constitutional Court to give interpretation and to develop them; therefore, certain final limits of the social rights are established in constitutional case-law.

  • MOLDOVA (Moldova)
    CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES MOLDOVA (Moldova) Present day Moldova was carved from Romania (Bessarabia) and Ukraine (Transnistria) in 1940 and annexed to the Soviet Union. Two thirds of Moldovans are of Romanian descent. The languages are virtually identical and they share a com- mon cultural heritage, although separate recent histories and at times, strained relations. Transnistria declared independ- ence from Moldova with the collapse of the USSR but is not internationally recognized and the conflict remains unre- solved. This area is populated by Ukrainian and Russian speakers. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe. The constitution of Moldova provides for freedom of religion; however, the law allows for some restrictions that can inhibit the activities of some groups such as: Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews, and Pentecostal believers. The law requires religions to register and some groups, especially Mus- lim, have been unable to register. Orthodox Christianity is the dominant religion with 96% of the population claiming membership in either of two Orthodox denominations, Moldovan (88%) or Bessarabian(8%). Adher- ents of other religious groups, constituting less than 10 percent of the population, include Roman Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Seventh- Population: 3.6 million day Adventists, Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'is, Jews, Unifica- Area: slightly larger than Maryland tion Church, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and evangelical Christian groups. Capital: Chisinau (650,000) Languages: Moldovan (official), Russian, Ga- gauz (a Turkish dialect) Moldovans/Romanians are the largest ethnic group accounting for 78.2% of the population followed by Ukrainians (8.4%) and Russians (5.8%) according to the 2004 census. There was considerable emigra- tion of the latter two following the collapse of the USSR.
