The document analyzes the effectiveness of Moldova's mechanism for compensating damages caused by protracted court proceedings or non-enforcement of judgments, as established by Law No. 87. It summarizes previous analyses that found the mechanism examined cases slowly and awarded low compensation. The current analysis of 176 cases from 2017-2020 finds similar issues, with cases taking around a year and compensation rarely meeting standards. It aims to promote uniform practice and increase the mechanism's practical efficiency.
- The document discusses Moldova's ongoing efforts to reform its judiciary and anti-corruption mechanisms to establish an independent justice system and gain public trust.
- Key issues identified include the judiciary's perceived political dependence and corruption, low public confidence, and lack of transparency, independence, and integrity among judicial institutions and actors.
- Suggested solutions focus on strengthening judicial independence, accountability, and transparency, as well as improving anti-corruption legislation, investigations, and protections for whistleblowers.

This document analyzes the proposal to establish an Anticorruption Court in Moldova. It finds that Moldova does not have enough corruption cases to warrant a specialized court, and establishing one could increase costs without clear benefits. On average, Moldovan courts try only 199 corruption cases per year, which would result in very low caseloads for judges on the new court. Additionally, having a single court located in Chisinau could reduce access to justice for cases from other regions. The document also notes that narrow specialization of judges goes against international standards, and specialized courts were previously eliminated in Moldova's judicial reforms. In summary, the analysis finds that an Anticorruption Court is not appropriate or necessary given Mold
The project aimed to improve the rule of law in Moldova through strengthening civil society oversight of the justice system. Key accomplishments included advocating for laws improving the environment for civil society organizations, increasing transparency of the judicial governing body, and monitoring implementation of European Court of Human Rights cases. Training was also provided to legal professionals on human rights standards. Overall the project enhanced civil society participation in governance and protected judicial independence.
The document outlines the agenda for an event titled "Promoting rule of law in Moldova through civil society oversight" hosted by the Legal Resources Centre from Moldova on November 25, 2020. The agenda includes welcome and introductory remarks, presentations on the results and achievements of the project by LRCM representatives, perspectives from partner organizations, a presentation of an independent project evaluation, and a question and answer session. The event will be held on the ZOOM platform and livestreamed, with Romanian interpretation to English, and will promote the outcomes of the LRCM's work to strengthen civil society oversight of rule of law in Moldova.
This document provides an analysis of the practice of courts of law and the Equality Council in the Republic of Moldova concerning equality and non-discrimination. It examines how the Equality Council and courts interpret and apply the law on ensuring equality, identifies opportunities and risks in the current approach, and provides recommendations. The analysis finds that while the Equality Council has made progress in developing case law, it faces limitations due to its narrow mandate. Courts also show improvements in applying anti-discrimination law but still have inconsistencies and lack understanding in some areas. The report calls for amendments to strengthen legal protections and the powers of the Equality Council to better combat discrimination.
The agenda summarizes an online event to launch a report on whether an anti-corruption court is necessary in the Republic of Moldova. It will include an introduction, welcome speech, presentation of the report conclusions by two speakers from the Legal Resources Centre from Moldova, speeches from representatives of relevant authorities like the Ministry of Justice and Superior Council of the Magistracy, and a discussion period. The event is supported by USAID.
