ensure the participation of persons with disabilities in the elaboration of policies and laws aimed at
them; and implement the recommendations of international human rights bodies.
Thus, in terms of implementation by the authorities of measures to ensure the accessibility of
people with disabilities to social infrastructure, we mention that the National Action Plan on Human
Rights for 2018-202281 (NAPHR) provides for the approval of the Action Plan on implementation
measures to ensure the accessibility of people with disabilities and social infrastructure”.
Responsible for this activity is the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, the State Construction
Inspectorate, etc. One of the monitoring indicators is the “Impact of the implementation of the
Action Plan in 2019, estimated.” Unfortunately, we found that such a Plan was not even approved,

With reference to the implementation of the action from NAPHR “Accessibility of court
premises, information and judicial processes according to the needs of persons with disabilities”82
the Ministry of Justice83 communicated that the court premises were equipped, within the limits of
financial resources, with access ramps for people with disabilities. Access for persons with
disabilities in the courts, according to the standards, will be ensured in the context of implementing
the Plan for construction of new buildings and / or renovation of existing buildings, approved by
Parliament Decision no. 21/2017 and the Draft standard requirements for the construction of a
court. The Superior Council of Magistracy84 communicated that out of the 20 courts, in 12 are
created access conditions for people with disabilities. The other 8 courts will create conditions after
the necessary financial resources will be allocated for this purpose.
With reference to the implementation of the sub-action the “Revision of the relevant
normative framework in order to accommodate / make accessible the judicial procedures according
to the needs of persons with disabilities”, at the request of the Ministry of Justice, the People's
Advocate presented a series of proposals to be discussed in this context. The People's Advocate
proposes to examine the elaboration of normative acts to regulate the way of ensuring access to
information for people with visual impairments and those with mental disorders, both in the process
of justice and in other areas of social life. There were also noted the findings of the Institute for
