Summary/Abstract: Modern societies are concerned about children, defending their rights, their protection as human beings who are not fully shaped and cannot defend their rights by themselves. In Romania, Law No. 272/2004 is the legal framework for the respect, the promotion and the guaranteeing of children’s rights. Implementation of this legislation allows for the creation of a modern, European, system for the protection of the rights of the child, harmonized with the international treaties to which Romania is party, such as the European Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. In conformity with the above-mentioned regulations, all public authorities, non-governmental organizations, as well as natural persons and the legal persons responsible for the protection of the child are bound to respect and guarantee the rights of the child.
