residential institutions reaches 545 children, but the information provided by non-governmental organizations working in this field in Transnistria indicates the figure of over 1500 of placed children. In these circumstances, the Children's Ombudsman gives an opinion on the need to examine and monitor the conditions of placement of these children and the quality of the services provided to the children during the placement. The Children's Ombudsman also urges the authorities to initiate a constructive dialogue with the associative sector in the Transnistrian territory, which can provide methodological and practical assistance for the recovery of the situation in the field. Another problematic aspect submitted by the People's Advocate for Children's Rights is the juvenile justice system and the system of execution of sentences with deprivation of liberty by children. The Children's Ombudsman mentions that the situation in this regard is quite alarming and poses a risk to the life, health and development of the child, thus being a ground for violation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. According to the information received from the NGOs in the territory, it is revealed that the children are subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment in detention institutions, they are not provided with procedural guarantees in criminal proceedings and in judicial examination, they are detained in precarious conditions for their life and health, etc. Under these conditions, the People's Advocate for Children's Rights calls on national governmental authorities and international observers to intervene with concrete actions in order to guarantee the observance of the children’s rights who are in contact / conflict with the law. Another issue examined by the People's Advocate for Children's Rights is ensuring the child's right to a name and citizenship for children in the Transnistrian region. The Children's Ombudsman notes that national authorities do not fully ensure the implementation of the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in the area of compulsory guarantee of the right to a name and citizenship for all children within the State party. Following the presentation of the Thematic Report "Respect for children's rights to a name and citizenship198”, prepared by the People's Advocate for Children's Rights, several legislative and practical gaps were presented that hindered the process of documenting children in Moldova. However, the Children's Ombudsman notes with regret that even after the three-year deadline for the submission of the thematic report, no essential changes have been made. Recent amendments to the legislation on civil status documents do not regulate all situations and categories of children for documentation with civil status 198 http://ombudsman.md/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/studiul_documentarea_0.pdf 134
