An accessible Romania in a Europe without barriers

The dimensions of the International Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and the range of issues brought into discussion, as well as its monitoring, implementation strategy and related operational plans, developed at international, regional and national level, represent a challenge for the human rights specialists, all the more so, since the acceptance of discrimination on grounds of disability is deeply rooted in many societies.

The presumption of innocence and controlled society

In the EU Directive 2016/343 of the European Parliament and of the Council, additions were made regarding the presumption of innocence and the right to be present in criminal proceedings. The new regulation comes to reaffirm EU commitment to meeting the individual rights and freedoms, but in terms of its necessity is likely to signal some slippage in the evolution of contemporary society, liable to jeopardize the effective operation of the presumption of innocence. Some of these slippages may include certain side effects related to redefining relations between the public and private sphere as well as developments in telecommunications technology, which expose the contemporary society to the exercise of absolute control.ties.

Aspects of medical and hospital services reform in Romania

The right to health is conditioned by the health system. The organization of the health system is a key determinant of individual and community health, putting its mark on the whole human life starting with birth (a safe maternity) and ending with the specific care of the elderly. The performance of a health system depends on the flow of the fundraising for health and its distribution to the suppliers.

Aspects regarding infringement to one’s privacy family and domicile, in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights

Within the evolution of human society more and more human needs have taken shape. However, regardless of the period in which we lived in, man has always sought to satisfy at least two needs: food and housing. The need for a home is in a close connection with the existence of a family. We can say that having a family depends on the existence of family homes. If until recently, the notion of „family home” was a doctrinal notion, we see that the current Civil Code expressly states the institution of the family home. In its case-law, the European Court of Human Rights gave an autonomous interpretation of the notion of family, family-home and home.

Keywords: home, family-home, demolition, human rights
