UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Concluding Observations to Romania (2010) |
| Qualitative Info |
While noting different measures taken by the Romanian Government, the Committee recommended the State to provide information about the impact in practice of the measures to combat discrimination and for social inclusion of vulnerable groups. The Committee also urged the State to make sure that the measures taken in the context of economical and financial crisis do not impact refugees, immigrants, minorities, especially Roma minority, disproportionately. With regards to institutional framework in the field of anti-discrimination, the Committee pointed out to the fact that the National Council for Combating Discrimination should be brought in compliance with the Paris Principles and its mandate and the one of the Ombudsperson should be clarified in order to avoid overlapping competences.
