【 摘 要 】

Discriminatory behaviour is often considered normality in the Romanian society and its consequences are easily accepted or ignored. Compared to other Member States of the European Union that have a tradition in respecting the principle of human dignity and the principle of equality of treatment, Romania still faces difficulties with regard to assimilating the importance of these principles and integrating their non-discrimination dimension. Despite the fact that Romanian law has implemented European norms in the matter of non-discrimination, the existence of a legal framework didn’t come with achieving the purpose for which they have been introduced. In the absence of an effective enforcement mechanism and of a social context in this respect, the law hasn’t brought the necessary changes regarding equality and dignity rights and, implicitly, to the personal and social life’s dynamic. The article aims to present some critical analysis of the extent to which Romanian law contains sufficient, articulated and coherent legal rules in the field, applicable to both those protected and those having obligation to protect, to identify the aspects with regard to which the domestic legislative framework requires to be modified and to propose the lege ferenda amendments, so that its provisions would be a consistent support for the purpose of non-discrimination in Romania.
