National Consultant on mediation for National Human Rights Institutions / Consultant național în mediere pentru instituțiile naționale pentru protecția și promovarea drepturilor omuluiVacancy Number: Pr15/01109
Contacts: Ms. Natalia Voronova. Background
The Ombudsperson Office and the Equality Council are the only two National human rights institutions (NHRIs) in the Republic of Moldova and they play an important role in advancing human rights protection sand promotion in the Republic of Moldova. Both NHRIs have some degree of mediation involved in their work. In May 2012, the Parliament of the RM passed the Law on Ensuring Equality, stipulating the establishment of the Council on the Prevention and Elimination of Discrimination and Ensuring Equality (Equality Council) to ensure protection against discrimination and equality of all persons who consider themselves victims of discrimination, as well as review individual complaints and deliver decisions on them. As a new institution established in 2013, the Council is in need of institutional strengthening and capacity building in human rights, equality, case management, as well as mediation. In April 2014, the Parliament of the RM passed a new Law on the Peoples Advocate (Ombudsperson). As a result of a number of institutional weaknesses, the Ombudsperson Office remains insufficiently known among the public-at-large, and is not sufficiently powerful to act as Moldova’s main human rights institution. Therefore it is in need of institutional capacity building and mainstreaming of human rights based approach into its work, as well as requires support towards capacity building in mediation. The overall objective of the project “Supporting National Human Rights Institutions as per International Treaty Bodies and UPR Recommendations” is to contribute to the effective protection and promotion of human rights, equality and non-discrimination in the Republic of Moldova with particular attention to women, minorities, marginalised and vulnerable groups. The project is funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, co-funded and implemented by the UNDP Moldova and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in cooperation with the Ombudsperson Office and the Equality Council.
