Source: http://www.mihaistoian.net

Here is a letter coming from the most important human rights organization on freedom of religion and belief, Human Rights Without Frontiers. This letter comes as a reaction to the 14th of June 2013 sentence of Mr Gregorian Bivolaru at the Supreme Court of Justice in Romania. Being in their attention for a while, Mr Bivolaru’s case raised several doubts about the judicial system of a Romania that is still under the influence of the same groups of power.

Interview met Edith Nieman – correspondent Colombia

Een moeder wil altijd gevonden worden

Edith is al tien jaar onze correspondent in Colombia. Inmiddels is ze getuige geweest van zo’n honderd ontmoetingen. Daarnaast heeft ze dertig jaar voor de organisatie Wereldkinderen gewerkt. Deze organisatie houdt zich bezig met het zoeken van kinderen voor Nederlandse ouders. Sinds 2004 doet ze hetzelfde alleen nu voor een Amerikaanse instantie en dus voor Amerikaanse ouders.

Hoe ben je ooit correspondent voor Spoorloos geworden?

Via een kennis kwam ik in contact met Spoorloos. Spoorloos was in Colombia op zoek naar de moeder van een kind. Ik heb haar geholpen de moeder te vinden. Mijn hulp bestaat uit het vertalen en het helpen de weg te vinden naar de plaatselijke instanties. In de loop der tijd heb ik een heel eigen netwerk opgebouwd met mensen waarop ik kan bouwen.

KenyaAt the beginning of 2013 it was decided to end the cooperation with the partnerorganization Child Welfare Society of Kenya and look for a new partner. After avisit of Marc Tijhuis to Kenyans to Kenyans to Peace Initiative (KKPI) in June, itwas decided to cooperate with this organization. Consequently Wereldkinderenapplied for a licence request for Kenya. At the ending of 2013 Wereldkinderenwas still waiting for the decision of the National Adoption Committee in Kenya togrant a permit. It is expected that the National Adoption Committee will grant apermit in 2014 and that, in cooperation with the KPPI, adoption mediations willcommence.

Moldova: New Rules for Child Adoption Proposed News & Events | Webcasts | Global Legal Monitor | RSS & Email Search News | Browse All Topics | Browse All Jurisdictions | GLM RSS | Top Recent Articles To link to this article, copy this persistent link: http://www.loc.gov/lawweb/servlet/lloc_news?disp3_l205403441_text (Dec 31, 2012) On November 1, 2012, the Parliament of Moldova passed at the first reading amendments to the legislation governing adoption of children. (Tatiana Gurzu, Parliament Changes Child Adoption Procedure in Moldova [in Russian], KOMMERSANT.MD (Nov.1, 2012).) As described by Adoption Procedure for Moldovan Resident Children Will Be Changed [in Russian], PUBLIKA.MD (Aug. 2, 2012).) The bill divides children who are available for adoption into two groups, with a different legal regime for each. One is for children without specific needs, i.e., healthy children under seven years of age; the other is for children with specific needs. The second group includes children with limited abilities, including those with developmental disabilities or those who are at enhanced risk for further developmental problems, children who are seven years of age or older, and children who have one or several seven-year-old or older siblings. (Government of the Republic of Moldova, Decree No. 568 of August 3, 2012, on Amendments to Selected Legislative Acts, Parliament of Moldova website.) The bill also changes the procedure for adoption of Moldovan children by foreigners. In order to adopt a Moldovan child, a foreign citizen must file a petition through an accredited international child adoption organization. (Id.) Issues related to accreditation of such foreign organizations are addressed in the bill. Each organization will be required to undergo annual certification by Moldovan authorities. Certification can be extended for another year upon the organization's submission of an activity report. (Id.) The court in the locality where an orphan is residing will issue the adoption order. If a child is ten years old or older, his/her consent must be obtained in preparation for the adoption case hearing. In addition, the child must consent to a possible change of his or her given name and last name that might occur after the adoption. (Id.) Decisions of the central adoption authority (which is an agency that will be designated later by the government) on the choice of parents for an adopted child will have to be confirmed by a specially created Consultation Council. Additionally, the Council will have the power to rule on the reasonableness of separation of siblings. (Id.)
