Proiecte implementate pe parcursul anului 2018
The violation of the Right to Liberty and Security of Person in Moldova is not occasional. It represents a systemic and continuous phenomenon. Moldova is constantly condemned by the European Court of Human Rights for violation of this particular fundamental right, especially because of a poor motivation of arrest warrants issued by investigative judges. There are 44 investigative judges in the country and their mandate is to ensure the judicial control over rights observance at pre-trial stage and to apply certain preventive measures during the criminal procedure, including pre-trial detention. Although their decisions directly affect the liberty of persons, these are literally “empty nutshells” since in an overwhelming number of cases they lack reasoning. Both civil society organizations and judicial self-governing bodies lack appropriate tools for permanent monitoring of investigative judges` activity and for making them responsible for their lack of appropriate motivation in applying pre-trial detention.
There is a serious external pressure from international and European institutions to reform Moldova’s justice system, especially the judiciary. However, the actions that both judicial regulating authorities and the government undertake in this respect have been quite inconsistent so far. Therefore, there is a good opportunity at present to mainstream public discussions and increase pressure to improve the performance of the judiciary from a human rights perspective.
In the aforementioned conditions, the Justice Program (the Program) of the Soros Foundation Moldova is currently implementing the project “Improving the observance of the Right to Liberty and Security of Person in Moldova” which aims to establish coherent and sustainable public watch mechanisms over the judiciary through active involvement of NGOs and media representatives. The project also advocates for the development of internal accountability mechanisms for judges.
One of the project activities foresees the development of a pocket guide for Moldovan investigative judges on how the legal reasoning should be made. The guide should be based on a thorough analysis of international and national experience and should include samples of legal reasoning from advanced countries, but also from Moldova. The guide will be further widely distributed amongst judges with full implication of the Superior Council of Magistrates and Association of Judges.
To better address the activity above, the Program plans to hire one international consultant and one national to work as a team.
Objective: To assist the Program in proper implementation of one essential activity foreseen within the project: “Improving the observance of the Right to Liberty and Security of Person in Moldova”.
