Respectarea drepturilor omului în regiunea transnistreană a Republicii Moldova / Respect for human rights in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Probably the motto that supports this article reveals very clearly that to ensure human rights there must be some foundations that are based on some values that are so natural in themselves that no doctrine is needed to explain them. The basic imperative that arises is that once there is a human being, he/she must enjoy the same rights as another human being, even if both are separated by a fence, a field, or a river. The division of the population that took place in 1992 on the territory of the Republic of Moldova has led to different developments in terms of respect for human rights. Being in the same area, in the same jurisdiction the population woke up with a different legacy that the country’s Constitution grants. Apparently, an act that was to be applied universally throughout the state remains inapplicable for 11% of its territory. The author identified at least 5 different stages that marked a distinct behavior of the authorities, external factors as well as the general population that determined a certain turn in the field of respect or non-respect of human rights in the Transnistrian area of the Republic of Moldova. Even if the separation by years is not very accurate, the author tried to delimit each period by a series of significant events in the field of human rights, which set the tone for a new evolution or involution in the field of human rights. This division is important to know what were the errors of the authorities, the circumstances that existed and were not capitalized, or in general what was the understanding of the population about certain phenomena.
