\u20ac50 fine for using the Latin alphabet<\/h3>\n

The right to education has numerous restrictions in the region, especially when it comes to the Latin writing. Thus, the simple use of the Latin alphabet for “Moldovan” language can be punished with a fine of over \u20ac50. In the case of the “Evrica” Lyceum in Ribnita, the institution is obliged to pay more than \u20ac30,000<\/strong>\u00a0for renting the space, annually.<\/p>\n

Thousands of farmers\u00a0 cannot get their land back for 13 years<\/h3>\n

The inhabitants of the Dubasari district have been left without their agricultural land for 13 years, while the so-called Transnistrian administration has leased these lands to local economic agents. The problem is growing when it becomes known that these lands have an area of about 6,500 hectares – almost half of the territory of this district.<\/p>\n

Authorities have no tangible results<\/h3>\n

Although President Igor Dodon seems to have established a friendly relationship with representatives of the Tiraspol regime following meetings with Putin<\/a> and other officials in the Kremlin administration, no concrete approaches have emerged<\/strong>. For their part, officials from the Reintegration Bureau, after about 50 meetings with foreign partners, have not established any effective mechanism for observing or ensuring human rights in the region.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in the first half of 2017, the European Court issued four judgments in the case of the rights of the inhabitants of the left bank of the Nistru river, which forced Russia to pay victims over \u20ac200,000. On the other hand, following the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which declared illegal troops and military bases stationed on the territory of Moldova, Tiraspol made available mechanisms for the Russian soldiers to obtain citizenship of the self-proclaimed republic.<\/p>\n

According to Promo-LEX<\/a>, “the rulings need to be promoted more intensely by the relevant institutions so that effective methods of observing and defending human rights in the Transnistrian region are found.” Otherwise, the situation in which the those who need help are discouraged from asking for it, and those guilty of committing violations are not held accountable.<\/p>\n

However, violations found could be remedied more quickly if international organizations (the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the European Union) put pressure on the regional administration in the defense of the journalists, NGOs, and lawyers. As a result, experts could come up with clear and good solutions for guaranteeing human rights in the Transnistrian region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
