Human rights
The confidence-building efforts of the Mission seek to advance the settlement process and span both banks of the Dniester/Nistru River.
The Mission builds the capacities of legal, civil society and other professionals from both banks to assist members of the public in addressing prevalent human rights issues. These issues relate to the freedom of movement, obtaining of civil status documents, right to education, combating human trafficking, domestic violence and promoting gender equality. These issues have been prioritized by the Working Groups within the framework of the settlement process, including a Human Rights sub-Working Group. Moreover, the Mission organizes training programmes for journalists from both banks of the Dniester/Nistru River to promote fair and accurate reporting of the settlement process.
By providing these activities, the Mission aims to bring the Sides closer together in addressing shared priority issues. This also promotes a convergence of norms on both banks of the Dniester/Nistru as part of a comprehensive Transdniestrian settlement process.
