Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to clarify the legal nature of the National Council for Combating Discrimination, in its role as the body solving petitions by following a special procedure in order to rectify the moral and material damage caused by the violation of nondiscrimination principles. This contribution offers a solution to the disputes regarding the legitimacy of the NCCD related to Constitutional Court decisions that affirm the unconstitutional nature of articles 20 and 25 of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 137/2000, by proving that the national antidiscrimination rules and the legality of NCCD aren’t affected by these constitutional decisions.
