Abstract:
In 2006, the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted the relevant
amendments to the Constitution for the abolition of the death penalty, which
was an exceptional punishment. I was one of the first countries to have ratified the Additional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture and Other
Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment since 1984, which entered into force
on 26 June 1987, in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 (1) .... At the
same time, the national mechanism for preventing torture was established by
amending the law on the ombudsman.
