The Institutional Perspective in the Fight against Human Trafficking in Romania - The National Anti-Trafficking Body
Abstract
The institutional construction is a proof of political will, a proof of authority and maturity of a society, of its responsibility and functionality. It offers the favorable framework of institutional capacity evidence, of working out and putting into practice some policies, strategies, programs and action plans in various sectors and fields in accordance with the aim, the objectives and standards aimed at, set by one’s own bodies or derived from those defined by the transnational assumed regulations. An institutional construction becomes as much more articulate and efficient the more it is more stable and more dynamic, and at the same time flexible and adaptable to the challenges of an environment often marked by most acute crises and tensions. Motivated by the history lessons, it is but natural to yearn for stable institutions which should guarantee the democracy, the rule of law and human rights.
