- Domestic violence
Type:RecommendationSession:2nd session, May 2008Status:AcceptedContents:To adopt and effectively implement measures to prevent and eliminate domestic violence against women.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 108) Regarding the prevention and elimination of domestic violence against women (recommendation 13), Law no. 217/2003 on preventing and combating domestic violence has been recently substantially amended by Law no. 25/2012. One of the most important improvements of the law is the introduction of the restriction order, which is a measure of protection for the victim of domestic violence that can be issued by the court. Another specific measure of protection provided by the new law aims to improve the efficiency of authorities to support and advise victims in order to resort to legal means for sanctioning domestic violence cases.
Para 109) Besides the legal improvements, a number of programs with national coverage were dedicated to this field of activity, based on a financing offered from the state budged by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Protection.
Para 110) Also, in December 2009, a group of 12 EU Member States among which Romania, presented a proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and the Council on the European protection order. The proposal was adopted in 2011 (Directive 2011/99/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on the European protection order).
Para 111) During the year 2010, at national level 36 informal campaigns were conducted, 19 domestic violence prevention projects and also about 37.000 persons received preventive information. In conducting the activities, external partners have been involved as well. -

- Right to marry
- Rights of same-sex desiring persons
Type:RecommendationSession:29th Session, January 2018Status:Partially AcceptedContents:Introduce a civil legal partnership between same-sex couples, and refrain from a referendum on constitutional changes prohibiting same-sex couples to marry that would likely increase negative sentiments against LGBTI people.ExplanationRomania also partially notes recommendation 67 only as to the second thesis. As to organizing a constitutional referendum, Romania recalls that this pertains to a sovereign right of the Parliament as it is within its prerogatives to adopt a law that would lead to the revision of the Constitution, but the approval of such a law shall be done only after having consulted the people by means of a referendum. Even so, a referendum as mentioned in the second thesis of the recommendation would not lead to any change in the legal framework that governs family and marriage. The Constitutional Court (decision no. 580/2016, para. 40) states that the notion of family is much broader than that proposed by the initiator of the constitutional revision and it falls under art. 26 of the Constitution on the right to intimate, family and private life. With regard to the first thesis, currently there is an ongoing debate on a draft law on civil partnership, initiated by the National Council for Combatting Discrimination (NCCD). According to the Constitution, same-sex marriages are not allowed. -
