Target population:
persons in detention
persons in pre-trial detention
law enforcement officials and executive personnel
media and general society
Needs:
Moldovan criminal and administrative procedural and substantive laws lack essential guarantees of the personal guarantees, prevention of torture and access to justice in the places of detention.
Law enforcement personnel have insufficient knowledge and skills of human rights and European standards of human rights.
Personnel of penitentiaries has insufficient understanding of need to establish positive relations between the detainees and the personnel; there is no strategy of preventing accumulation of violence and intimidation among detainees due to lack of psychological and cultural communication.
The CPT Report and the response of the Government highlighted the misunderstanding of the Moldovan authorities as a whole the difficult economic conditions and their affection on certain civil obligations.
Moldovan organisations are small and therefore to effectively address comprehensively a bigger concern there is a need for a consolidated common effort in this case and developing and strengthening the co-operative actions while working on other issues human rights related.
