A/HRC/34/53/Add.2 would accept Roma as neighbours, colleagues, friends or family members. That study revealed that a quarter of the respondents thought that Roma should be forced to live in segregated areas because of the perception that they did not integrate, and a fifth stated that Roma should not be allowed in some buildings. 24 In fact, during the consultations held, the Special Rapporteur was informed of a case in which a Roma man had been denied access to a public swimming pool in the locality of Drochia. He took his case to court, which ruled in his favour. 59. The lack of municipal property registration and identity documents were raised repeatedly by interlocutors as having a negative impact on the ability of Roma communities to exercise their rights, including to education, health care and social services. The Special Rapporteur was informed that, although some measures had been taken to address the problem, including the temporary free issuance of identity documents to Roma people, the issue still persists. 60. Following the completion of the Roma Action Plan 2011-2015, which established a number of priority areas to protect the rights of Roma and promote their inclusion in society, including in education, health, housing, employment, culture, media and public administration, the Roma Action Plan 2016-2020 was adopted in April 2016. 61. Many stakeholders with whom the Special Rapporteur consulted stated that, despite the fact that the earlier Roma Action Plan had been a positive development for the protection and promotion of Roma rights, the decentralization reform, which placed the responsibility of implementing a large number of measures in the hands of local administrations and the lack of sufficient funding, among other factors, had resulted in the Plan being poorly implemented, monitored and assessed. In fact, an assessment by the Bureau of Inter-Ethnic Relations revealed that only 37 per cent of its provisions had actually been implemented. Concerns were expressed that, given the lack of budget provision, the current Plan would face similar challenges. A. Roma children 62. The situation of Roma children is of particular concern. According to UNICEF, 25 Roma children, together with the poorest children and children with disabilities, are worst off in the Republic of Moldova. A child from a Roma community is less likely to have access to health services and more likely to die young. In fact, the Special Rapporteur was made aware of some serious cases regarding Roma children and was distressed to learn of a particular case of a Roma baby with a heart condition who had died after being refused an operation because he had not been registered. 63. There are stark differences in access to health care between Roma and non-Roma groups. According to the World Health Organization, 26 Roma children are less immunized, with 11 per cent of Roma children under 14 years not vaccinated at all, in comparison with 3 per cent of non-Roma children.
