The trainees of the National Institute of Justice participated in the public lesson entitled „State commitment in preventing discrimination against Roma people”. The event took place on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, on European Roma Holocaust Memorial Day.
The public lesson was held by Nicolae Radita, Deputy General Director of the Agency for Interethnic Relations (AIR). His presentation focused on the current legal framework and the mechanisms implemented in order to combat discrimination, including against the Roma community, as well as the contribution of the AIR to the implementation of state policies in the field of interethnic relations and international treaties to which the Republic of Moldova is a party. Nicolae Radita approached topics such as the current challenges of Roma inclusion in society, the role of the judicial system in preventing and sanctioning discrimination, case studies in the field, etc.
The trainees had the opportunity to participate actively in the discussions, asking questions and sharing opinions on the issues presented.
