Abstract: This study proposes a summary analysis of the prohibition of racial discrimination in Romania. Although specific legislation prohibiting racial discrimination does not exist in Romania, the Constitution (especially in articles 4, 16, 30) and, in general, the legislation in force provide the appropriate legal means against racism and xenophobia. Besides, Romania acceded to most of the relevant international conventions, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the United Nations’ International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the European Convention on Human Rights. In addition, it considers acceding to the Convention for the Protection of National Minorities of 1995.
