US embassy cable - 05BUCHAREST544

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

TAGS: PHUM, PREL RO 
SUBJECT: ROMANIA: ROMANIA RESPONSE TO CSW DECLARATION 
DEMARCHE 
 
REF: STATE 35769 
 
1.  Poloff discussed USG position March 2 regarding the 
Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) 2005 with MFA OSCE 
and Human Rights Directorate Officer Nicoleta Birladianu 
March 2. 
 
2.  Romania does not have an official opinion on the CSW 
2005 Declaration at this time and does not plan to speak 
during the plenary session.  Birladianu noted that abortion 
is legal in Romania, and the lower house of the Romanian 
parliament recently approved a draft law on reproductive 
health which upholds the legality of abortion in Romania. 
Romania's view on abortion will most likely be reflected in 
Romania's position with respect to the declaration.
