The People's Advocate is, first and foremost, the voice of the voiceless, of the children, of those who are in centers where they no longer have freedom or their freedom is severely limited and cannot express themselves, be it psychiatric hospitals, centers for elderly persons, penitentiaries, centers for refugees, etc. In 2019, the institution proceeded ex-officio in 1749 cases and were conducted 429 investigations. In order to fulfill its constitutional role, the People's Advocate acts, despite its name, as a mediator, trying to find and propose solutions, either by bringing to the same table those involved, or by issuing recommendations and, based on these premises, appreciates the good collaboration we had, in many cases, with the administrative authorities, especially at the local level. The People's Advocate would have expected to be consulted by the initiators of the draft laws and ordinances, which, through the content of their regulations, concern the rights and freedoms of citizens. Thus, it would have been avoided the use the means of referral to the Constitutional Court, in order to rectify any regulations that the People's Advocate considered unconstitutional and, implicitly, the perception of its involvement in the disputes of political nature between State institutions. In this regard, the present Report contains several proposals for improving the legislative framework regarding the rights of citizens and their relations with public authorities. For the People’s Advocate it is of utmost importance to preserve its independence, as the Constitution itself provides, so that there is no possibility for the institution to be used by representatives of the political sphere, which would distort its role as defender of the fundamental human rights and freedoms.

  • MONUMENTS for the ROMANIAN HEROES of 1917 Horia
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Online Edition Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 4, Number 4 / 2012 39 MONUMENTS FOR THE ROMANIAN HEROES OF 1917 ∗ Horia DUMITRESCU Abstract : During the Great War heavy battles took place on the Romanian teritorry, at Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz, in Vrancea County. In their memory were built the monuments presented below. Keywords : war, heroes, gratitude, monument, Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz. After two years of devastating war in Europe and after two years of neutrality, on August 14 th 1916, Romania joined the right and saint war of union, of fulfilling the national aims, legitimate and ancient, of the Romanian people. The inhabitans of Transylvania received the offensive of the Romanian army beyond the Carpathians with enthusiasm and joy. During only two months, the Romanian troops almost reached Sibiu. Being insufficiently supported by the countries of the Antanta, the Romanian army had to retreat fighting heroically for each piece of land. On the rivers Jiu and Olt, at Bucharest and Ramnicu-Sarat, the Romanian soldiers proved heroism simply legendary, sweeping away the intentions of the enemy to throw Romania out of war. The front became stable on the alignment of the Eastern Carpathians, the lower course of the rivers Putna and Siret and of the big river Danube. Moldavia remained the only free part of the country. Here was the strenght and the hope of the Romanian nation. After the recovery, after those intense preparations of June- July 1917, the fights of the Romanian army were to become real in the bright victory from Marasti since 24 th - 30 th of July 1917.

Introduction In the summer of 2012, Romania experienced the deepest constitutional crisis in its post- communist history. For the European Union (“EU”), which Romania joined in 2007, the crisis amplified an existential challenge posed by a turn to constitutional authoritarianism in its new member states. Coming after similar developments in Hungary, the Romanian crisis forced the “highly interdependent”2 EU to grapple with the question of how to enforce basic principles of constitutionalism within the states. That challenge would have been unthinkable even a decade earlier. In “A Grand Illusion”, an essay on Europe written in 1996, well before the Eastern expansion of the EU, Tony Judt argued that the strongest argument for such an expansion, which he otherwise did not favor, was that membership in the Union would quiet the “own internal demons” of the Eastern 3 European countries and “protect them against themselves.” It turns out, however, that 1 Associate Professor, Boston College Law School and Director, Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy.

    Infopack ESC Volunteering project ”Community Heroes” Marasesti - Focsani, ROMANIA 01/10/2020 – 30/06/2021 Project description Civic participation of children and involvement in the community life of which they belong to, is of great importance for the child’s development and the future adult, but also for the development of the community, of the society as a whole, so affected by passivity, lack of civic involvement, initiative. In this project we start from the premise that active participation cannot be taught by listening to or memorising norms and rules, but by practising and getting involved in the community. The project involves 16 ESC volunteers who are going to support community mini-projects initiated in a voluntary manner by children/youngsters with the help of the ESC volunteers. We want the project to transform children from spectators into architects of change in their own community. Children and young people, together with ESC volunteers and teachers become active agents of change through social entrepreneurship and community involvement. They will work as a team, gain confidence in their ability to create change and develop their 21st century skills. By being directly involved in the change they want to bring in the community, children, young people and volunteers will have the opportunity to feel on their own how they themselves can help solve community problems. The aim of the project is to encourage the involvement of children and young people in community life and to support initiatives that contribute to the promotion of active citizenship and sustainable development. Objectives of the project: 1.

  • Migraţia De Întoarcere a Românilor Din Italia. Studiu De Caz În Vulturu
    MIGRAŢIA DE ÎNTOARCERE A ROMÂNILOR 1 DIN ITALIA. STUDIU DE CAZ ÎN VULTURU, VRANCEA IONELA VLASE igraţia românilor în Italia a cunoscut o serie de schimbări structurale, în ultimele două decenii. La început, românii au M fost migranţi ilegali în căutarea unui loc de muncă în Italia, iar mai apoi au devenit migranţi cu statut legal, în special cu ocazia legalizărilor care au avut loc în Italia în anii 1998 şi 2002. Contextul economic şi politic global, precum şi caracteristicile sociodemografice individuale ale migranţilor au condus la experienţe diferite ale migranţilor în Italia. În ultimii ani putem remarca, în unele comunităţi, evidenţe ale procesului de revenire a migranţilor din Italia. Migraţia spre Italia a fost, de altfel, de la bun început plănuită ca temporară şi este de aşteptat ca, într-o anumită măsură, să rezulte şi mişcarea inversă, de restabilire în localitatea de origine. Cercetarea care stă la baza acestui articol urmăreşte să pună în evidenţă factorii care determină reîntoarcerea migranţilor din Italia în localitatea Vulturu, judeţul Vrancea. Transferurile sociale şi economice ale femeilor şi bărbaţilor sunt modelate diferit în acest context translocal. Reintegrarea românilor reveniţi în ţară se produce genizat, deoarece bărbaţii şi femeile care au lucrat în domenii diferite în Italia tind să aibă şanse diferite de reintegrare pe piaţa muncii, în regiunea de origine. Cuvinte-cheie: migraţia de întoarcere, gen, sustenabilitate, Italia. ARGUMENT Sustenabilitatea proiectului de revenire a migranţilor a devenit o prioritate pe agenda politicilor europene, care încearcă să propună măsuri şi soluţii statelor ce se confruntă cu fenomenul reîntoarcerii în ţară a cetăţenilor lor. Concomitent, tot mai mulţi cercetători din străinătate încearcă să exploreze acest tip de migraţie.

  • Strategic Report EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms 2009-2014 Romania 1 January – 31 December 2016
    Strategic Report EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms 2009-2014 Romania 1 January – 31 December 2016 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The report provides a detailed overview of the progress achieved in 2016 in the implementation of the 2009-2014 EEA and Norway Grants in Romania, with one year before the ending of the programmes. It was the most significant period for the implementation of projects, with a number of 668 projects being completed by the end of December 2016 of the total number of the 837 contracted on all programmes. Within programmes implemented by beneficiary state POs, most of which have benefited from extensions of the eligibility period, 228 projects of the total number of 386 are already finalized (60%). The achievement of results has also progressed significantly, with many programmes reporting the achievement or surpassing of set targets on outcomes and outputs, as detailed in section 2. In terms of financial implementation of the Grants, at the end of 2016, disbursements made by Donors have reached the level of approximately 90%. The overall level of payments to projects made was of 80% of the amounts received (disbursed by Donors) and 72% of the total budget available. Significant progress can also be perceived in the strengthening of bilateral relations, with important results being obtained through both the fund for bilateral relations at national level and in donor partnership programmes and projects. The Fund for bilateral relations at national level has been allocated to contracted initiatives in proportion of 88%. With a 3rd round ended in June 2016, the funds made available through the open call have reached a contracting rate of 94.4%, i.e.
