Romania: strengthening protection from hate crime targeting LGBTI persons

On 23 March, at the invitation of the Agent of the Government of Romania before the ECtHR, the Execution Department held online consultations with representatives of Romanian authorities on the latest developments and next steps planned to enhance the criminal justice system’s response to hate crime targeting in particular LGBTI people.

Representatives from the Council of Europe Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Unit (SOGI) and the Programme on Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (HELP) also attended the meeting. They outlined possibilities for furthering the Romanian authorities’ cooperation with the Council of Europe, in particular in the field of capacity building for officials in all parts of the criminal justice system.

The Committee of Ministers supervises the adoption by Romania of measures in this field in the case of M.C. and A.C., which is planned to be examined by the Committee later this year.
