Introduction The People’s Advocate (Ombudsman) ensures the protection of all human rights and freedoms by the public authorities, by the organizations and companies, no matter of the type of property and the legal organizational form, by the non-commercial organizations and by decision makers at all levels. The People’s Advocate contributes to the protection of the human rights and freedoms through the prevention of their violation, through monitoring and reporting on the modality of protection of the fundamental human rights and freedoms at the national level through the improvement of the legislation related to the human rights and freedoms, through international collaboration in this area, through the promotion of the human rights and freedoms and their protection mechanisms, through the application of the procedures provided by the Law No. 52/2014. In his/her activity, the People’s Advocate follows the principles of legality, equality, impartiality, transparency, social equity, democracy, humanism and follows own conscience. Situation regarding the upholding the rights of the foreigners by the authorities from the Republic of Moldova have been permanently in the sight of Ombudsman. In 2018 the level of the violations of the rights of foreigners has increased dramatically. A group of six Turkish nationals have been abducted and handed to Turkish authorities in the form of a disguised expulsion despite all international commitments. The case has not been resolved by the responsible authorities, and the society expects strong reactions. In this context, the People's Advocate planned to carry out a comprehensive Study on the identifying the main gaps regarding the protection of foreigners. The research findings are worrying. It seems that the national mechanisms are focused on identifying reasons to remove foreigners from the Republic of Moldova, rather than providing and ensuring the necessary protection. The legal rules in force do not offer effective guarantees to applicants for protection, and administrative bodies often abuse the assigned prerogatives. The People's Advocate mentions the efforts of public authorities in raising awareness of the need to ensure the rights of foreigners in the country and urges them to continue the initiated reforms and to strengthen their possibilities in accordance with international standards. 5
