Free access to justice in the Republic of Moldova is a fundamental principle applicable to the constitutional rights and freedoms. It is an absolute principle, which means that it cannot be limited by the state. Free access to justice must be guaranteed to all the people, in an equal, impartial and non-discriminatory way, regardless of their quality (citizen, foreigner or stateless person), race, nationality, religion, political affiliation, sex, wealth etc. A genuine rule of law necessarily implies the possibility of every person to defend his rights, freedoms and legitimate interests provided by the Constitution and the national law in force. This supreme purpose of the state is achievable due to this absolute fundamental principle – free access to both common law and constitutional justice.
