Human rights

It is another very important area of interest for the Institute for Public Policy which is actively involved in promoting respect for diversity or a healthy, democratic relation between various minorities groups, such as sexual or religious minorities and so on and public entities. Our aim is to ensure a environment in Romania in which all civil right of minorities are not only claimed but respected. In this respect, we promptly bring strategic cases of potential infringement of minorities’ rights to the attention of the responsible institutions.
