Summary
The report assesses Moldova’s compliance with the Trafficking Protocol using an assessment tool developed by the Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative of the American Bar Association (“ABA/CEELI”). Evident from its name, the Protocol applies in conjunction with the Transnational Organized Crime Convention, thus, pertinent provisions from both instruments will be analyzed. Each section of the report has a de jure analysis that reviews the degree to which Moldovan laws comply with the Protocol and a de facto analysis that assesses the degree to which day-to-day practice complies with domestic laws and the Protocol. Most of the sections contain recommendations for future action, many of which are a direct reflection of concerns raised by persons who were interviewed during the three-week de facto portion of the assessment.It should be noted that this report is not a scientific survey. It is an assessment conducted using a standard tool, which will be implemented in many countries around the world. The assessor used the de jure analysis, de facto evaluation, and various secondary sources to draw conclusions. Where applicable, statistics provided by reliable sources are included.
