ASPECTE DIN LEGISLAȚIA UCRAINEANÃ ÎN DOMENIUL PROTECȚIEI PERSOANELOR APARȚINÂND MINORITÃȚII NAȚIONALE ROMÂNE DIN UCRAINA

The following study reviews the Ukrainian and Romanian legislation regarding the protection of persons belonging to the Romanian minority in the Republic of Ukraine. The author concludes that relevant statutory regulations exist, but their actual implementation leaves much to be desired. Finally, it is considered that the Romanian State must have the legal and moral duty to participate actively in the life of Romanian communities in neighboring countries (among which Ukraine is included), but obviously by observing the principle of sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs of these States.
