Even if these people do not cover the expenses for the treatment of conditions subject to the occurrence of the insured events, the Government has the quality of insured for the categories of unemployed persons residing in the Republic of Moldova, including the localities on the left bank of the Dniester and Bender municipality, and registered with the competent institutions of the Republic of Moldova, except for the persons obliged by law to insure themselves individually117. The right to social assistance and protection The failure to realize the right to social assistance and protection remains to be generated, for the most part, due to the lack of legal local public authorities in the eastern districts of the country.118 For this reason, local public authorities of both levels provide social assistance and protection to persons in difficulty, only if they have a residence visa in localities under the jurisdiction of the constitutional bodies of the Republic of Moldova, except for persons falling under Law no. 190 of 08.05.2003 "On veterans" and Government Decision no. 906 of 24.09.2010, on the creation and activity of commissions for examining the addresses of citizens of the Republic of Moldova residing in the localities on the left bank of the Dniester (Transnistria) and their neighboring localities from the categories for which the Government has the quality of insured. Thus, the citizens of the Republic of Moldova who benefit from pensions established by the National Social Insurance House of the Republic of Moldova, domiciled in localities under the control of de facto authorities, do not have full and equal access to social assistance, benefits and social assistance services. The principle of individualization of criminal liability and criminal punishment The non bis in idem principle establishes that no one can be prosecuted or criminally punished twice for the same crime. This fundamental principle is recognized both in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union119, and in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).120. 117 Art.4 of Law no. 1585 on compulsory health insurance of 27.02.1998 http://www.legis.md/cautare/getResults?doc_id=113243&lang=ro 118 Law on basic provisions of the special legal status of localities from the left bank of the Dniester (Transnistria) no. 173 of 22.07.2005 119 Art.50 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2010:083:0389:0403:ro:PDF 120 Protocol no. 7 (Article 4) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, http://ier.gov.ro/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Protocolul-nr-7.pdf 67
