Issued by Transparency International Secretariat

In light of recent events, Transparency International reiterates the importance of due process, independent civil society, and rule of law in Moldova.

Experts working in the field of anti-corruption play a vital role in ensuring that democratic standards are upheld, and that principles of transparency and accountability are followed in government and business.

Attempts to intimidate anti-corruption campaigners are not acceptable, and the use of legal mechanisms to put unwarranted pressure on civil society actors represents a clear abuse of power.

Transparency International calls on the Moldovan authorities to ensure space for civil society in the fight against corruption, in accordance with article 13 of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), to which Moldova is a signatory.

DECLARATION

March 14, 2018

We, the organisations of the National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum, signatories to the Declaration, are deeply disappointed and concerned about the increasing tendencies of unjustified limitation of the right of Moldovan citizens to initiate and conduct legislative referenda. We believe that the law does not provide for such a limitation and a democratic society does not need it.

Noi, organizațiile din Platforma Națională a Forumului Societății Civile din Parteneriatul Estic, semnatare ale Declarației suntem profund dezamăgite și îngrijorate de tendințele tot mai pronunțate, de limitare nejustificată a dreptului cetățenilor Republicii Moldova de a iniția și desfășura un referendum legislativ. Considerăm că această limitare nu este prevăzută în lege și nu este necesară într-o societate democratică.
