c. Right to life, liberty and security
CAT expressed its concern about the widespread use of torture, inhuman treatment
and excessive brutality of the law enforcement officers. The Committee also commented on
the use of violence in armed forces and restricted access of detainees to legal assistance. The
Committee, together with HRC, expressed its concerns and recommendations concerning the
overcrowding of prisons and the required improvement of the conditions in detention
facilities. CAT, CESCR and CEDAW reported widespread violence against women, domestic
violence, and insufficient protection of the victims of such violence. CAT, UNCT, CRC,
CESCR, CEDAW, HRC and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women commented
at length on the role of Moldova as the country of origin and transit for human trafficking,
including the trafficking in children, and on the need to ensure the protection of victims and
effective prosecution of traffickers. Evaluating the situation in Moldova, UNCT noted the
labour exploitation of children, while CAT mentioned violence against children (also at
schools) and the situation of the “children of the streets”. CESCR recommended that the State
authorities improve the situation of patients in psychiatric confinement and ensure full
protection of their rights.
d. Justice system and right to trial
Comments concerning the functioning of the justice system begin with HRC’s
concerns about the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the justice system and violation of the
fair trial guarantees, and the HCR’s and CAT’s concerns about the use of torture and pre-trial
detention, and insufficient independence and impartiality of the courts. CAT and UNCT
stated that the use of torture was not punished severely enough, nor was it effectively
prosecuted. UNCT reported a drop in the number of children in detention, but at the same
time noted that the judicial system was ineffective in combating discrimination against
women.
e. Right to family life, right to privacy
UNCT and CRC expressed their concern about the large percentage of children placed
in institutions. UNCT and CESCR also highlighted the need to ensure protection of and
assistance to children with disabilities.
