This report is focused on human rights issues only. Its terminology and language imply no political position. The territory of Transnistria is not recognized as an independent state by the international community, the unanimous position of which is that it is part of the Republic of Moldova. The Expert has accordingly related to the decision makers in this territory as de facto authorities. One purpose of human rights reporting is usually to identify shortcomings and problems which ought to be addressed. This report is no exception; it is critical but with the intention to encourage remedial action. At the very end, Thomas Hammarberg, Senior Expert has listed some of his concrete recommendations. He has also offered suggestions on what international agencies might contribute in order to promote human rights for individuals in Transnistria. Though the Expert visited a large number of different institutions and consulted with a broad range of interested groups and parties, he is aware that the present report cannot be regarded as the final word on all human rights issues in Transnistria. It is simply not possible to develop a full understanding of these complex issues through a few visits within a limited time. It is, however, hoped that the report and its recommendations will encourage a serious discussion aiming at implementation of human rights standards.
