Protecția persoanelor cu dizabilități în dreptul penal și procesual penal român
The protection of persons with disabilities according to Romanian Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code

Summary/Abstract: The present paper starts by mentioning the main international, European and domestic instruments concerning the rights of persons with disabilities, trying to find a definition of disability and continues with the analysis of the Romanian criminal code and criminal procedure code implementing the first mentioned instruments. The conclusion at the end of the paper is that while it seems that the Romanian criminal legislation is broad enough concerning the rights of persons with disabilities and offers guaranties for non-discrimination, the jurisprudence is the one to prove if this is enough or there is a place for improvement.
