OBSERVANCE OF THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
During the process of analyzing the situation regarding the observance of the rights of persons
with disabilities in the Republic of Moldova, the People's Advocate found that this category of
persons continues to face the same problems. One of these issues is the access of people with
disabilities to social infrastructure adapted to the needs, in accordance with the relevant standards.
Another problem, which also persists, is the inadequacy of services, such as electronic services, to
the needs of people with disabilities. These issues are an obstacle to the proper integration of people
with disabilities into society, and their ability to realize their right to independent living in the
community.
The Constitution of the Republic of Moldova guarantees the protection of persons with
disabilities through the provisions stipulated in Article 51:
(1) Persons with disabilities shall enjoy special protection from the whole of society. The
State shall ensure for them normal conditions of treatment, rehabilitation, education, training and
social integration.
(2) No one may be subjected to any forced medical treatment except in the cases provided by
law.
At the international level, the rights of persons with disabilities are protected by the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 13.12.2006. In 2010, by Law No. 166 of
09.07.2010, the Republic of Moldova ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities.
