Protecția drepturilor omului în legislația românească actuală
Protection of human rights under present-day Romanian legislation

Summary/Abstract: The Constitution of Romania, revised in 2003, completes in a new, modern and effective vision the issues of human rights and fundamental freedoms and, even more than that, it includes in this field express provisions that may be undoubtedly described as new with our constitutional law after December 1989. The constitutional provisions are to be added other laws that assert and obviously develop the principle of respecting and guaranteeing the citizens' human rights and fundamental freedoms at European and international standards. The Act on the Status of Magistrates has created a coherent and unitary normative framework for this professional category. The law reasserts independence and impartiality of magistrates, the conditions for a European behaviour of magistrates and provides conditions and essential guarantees for the application of a non-discriminating legal treatment to the parties in a criminal or civil case at law and to combat the corruption phenomenon. The progress with the adjustment of the national legislation in accordance with the European norms and standards has largely been a result of the accession of our country to Protocol No. 14 to the European Convention on Human Rights modifying the control system of the European Court of Human Rights, adopted in Strasbourg on 13 May 2004.
