A/HRC/34/53/Add.2 them and the regions where they live. 9 Furthermore, she emphasized that there are numerous cost-effective methods to fulfil language rights, including translation of key information, web-based resources targeted at minorities and policies of promoting training of minorities and their recruitment at the national and local levels in public institutions. 10 C. Names and denominations 37. As a result of some amendments to the Law on the Identity Documents and the National Passport System, the Special Rapporteur was informed that the current system for the registration of names and surnames was permitted in the State language and in Latin script only, therefore having an adverse impact on some minority languages. For instance, as the Gagauz alphabet contains some letters that are pronounced differently from the State language, name registration often results in misspelling and/or mispronunciation of Gagauzian names and surnames. Furthermore, some Russian-speaking minority members stated that it was no longer possible for individuals to insert their patronymic name — which is part of the Russian cultural tradition — in their identity card. D. Health care 38. Some interlocutors pointed to linguistic issues in the area of health care. For instance, in Gagauzia the Special Rapporteur was informed that medicine leaflets were only available in the State language. She was also made aware of the current administrative territorial reorganization process, according to which the emergency care call centre in Comrat would be moved to Cahul, outside the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia. Concerns were expressed that such a move might pose a health risk, as a call centre outside Gagauzia would not be able to process telephone calls made in Gagauz, as they are at present. V. Religious minorities 39. The Republic of Moldova is home to a wide range of religions and belief groups, and the rights of religious minorities seem to be to a large extent respected. Most of the religious representatives consulted indicated that there was a peaceful coexistence among religious groups, although they admitted that there was a lack of mutual knowledge and exchange among them.11 40. Concerns were expressed about the dominance of the Moldovan Orthodox Church and its influence in determining societal morals and values. Some interlocutors regretted the fact that, although the Moldovan Constitution enshrines in its article 31 a secular State, the Orthodox Church appears to be given preferential treatment, including through tax exemptions and donations of public property to build temples. It was noted that the explicit acknowledgement in the 2007 Law on Freedom of Conscience, Thought and Belief of the 9 10 11 10 See A/HRC/22/49, para. 57. Ibid., para. 77. The Special Rapporteur was informed of a project called “Sources of Tolerance” organized by the Diversitate Centre for Informal Education and some partners, consisting of an annual inter-ethnic summer camp that brings together young people from various minority communities with the aim of fostering inter-group tolerance and knowledge about the ethnic and religious diversity of the Republic of Moldova. She welcomes the initiative as an example of good practice and stresses the need for such measures in the Moldovan context.
