  • Justice and Home Affairs Background
    February 2006 JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS BACKGROUND As stated in the 2005 Comprehensive Monitoring Report, “Romania has taken significant steps to address some of the issues within the political criteria which were highlighted in the 2004 report as requiring further improvements, such as the reform and independence of the judiciary. (…) The fight against corruption should receive high priority. Efforts should focus on the effective enforcement of anti-corruption legislation and on preventive measures, fighting high-level corruption and corruption within law enforcement bodies”. Justice system In March 2005 the new Government adopted an ambitious revised Strategy and Action Plan 2005-2007 to reform the justice system. These documents represent a significant step forward in the plans to create an independent, professional and effective justice system and now need to be internalised by the relevant actors. The Action Plan is being implemented according to schedule, with comprehensive monitoring mechanisms consisting of an inter-institutional commission co-ordinated by the Ministry of Justice and a series of working groups within the Superior Council of the Magistracy. The full and effective implementation of the Action Plan should continue without delay. The availability of financial and human resources and comprehensive training as well as accurate and standardised management statistics will largely determine the success of this operation. Following consultation with stakeholders a revision of the so-called three-law package on justice reform (Laws on the Superior Council of the Magistracy, on the Organisation of the Judiciary and on the Statute of Magistrates) was submitted by the Government to Parliament in June 2005 and adopted after a vote of confidence.

  • Fight Against Trafficking in Human Beings
    Progress Report - 17 July – 17 August 2006 - - Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings - 1. Legal framework The Law no. 300 from 11 July 2006 for ratifying the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human beings, adopted on 3 May 2005, open for signature and signed by Romania in Warsaw on 16 May 2005, was adopted. The law was published in the Official Gazette no. 622 from19 July 2006. Through the Government Decision no. 1083 from 16 August 2006, the Government Decision no. 1584/2005 on the setting up and functioning of the National Agency for Preventing the Trafficking in Human Beings and for Monitoring the Assistance provided to the Victims of the Trafficking in Human Beings was amended. The amendments mainly aim to increase the number of the personnel, both in the central structure and in the territorial structures and to strengthen the role that the Agency plays in coordinating the activities developed against trafficking in human beings, according to the recommendations of the EU Monitoring Report from May 2006. Thus: o The new name of the Agency will be The National Agency against Trafficking in Human Beings; o The number of the regional centres of the Agency has been increased from 8 to 15, which will be placed in the counties where Courts of Appeal function; this will ensure a better collaboration with the law enforcement agencies (police, border police), whose coordination structures function in the same counties, in order to take and refer the victims with maximum promptness to the specialized assistance

  • UN POLICE and CONFLICT PREVENTION Marina Caparini*
    SIPRI Discussion Paper June 2018 UN POLICE AND CONFLICT PREVENTION marina caparini* This paper connects the sustaining peace agenda with police in UN peace operations. It describes the three categories of conflict prevention implemented in peace operations, with a particular focus on the contribution of the police component of peace operations to conflict prevention. It suggests that the UN Police (UNPOL) play a critical role in conflict prevention through: (a) direct operational actions aimed at mediating and defusing tensions and deterring violence; (b) structural prevention linked to capacity-building activities of mentoring, training and advising host state police, as well as supporting the development of more effective, accountable and legitimate law enforcement institutions; and (c) systemic prevention through support for international and regional norms and mechanisms to combat transnational organized crime, illicit arms flows and human trafficking. The paper also makes recommendations on how the police role in conflict prevention could be further developed. I. Conflict prevention is more important than ever Since 2010, there has been a resurgence in violent conflict across the world and a marked increase in the number of armed conflicts.1 Conflicts have also become more complex, fragmented and protracted. By the end of 2016, over 65 million people had been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, repression or disaster—the highest level recorded since World War II. 2 Violent conflict destroys lives, ruptures societies, damages institutions and infrastructure and, as is now well known, sets back development by decades.3 At the same time, we are witnessing a reinvigorated worldwide attempt to tackle poverty, exclusion, injustice and conflict through the commitment of the world’s states to meeting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
