Urging the Government of Romania to recognize its responsibilities to provide equitable, prompt, and fair restitution to all religious communities for property confiscated by the former Communist government in Romania.

Summary

Notes with concern the unwillingness of past Romanian governments to provide fair restitution of religious property that was confiscated by the former Communist government of Romania. Calls on the Government of Romania to: (1) respect the constitutional rights of existence and practice of all religious communities to celebrate and practice their own religion in respectable locations; (2) provide fair restitution to all religious communities under Romanian law and in accordance with the Constitution of Rumania and all international agreements to which Romania is a party; and (3) amend Decree-Law 126/1990 to require that claims involving Romanian Greek Catholic properties be heard by an independent nonreligious commission, and to prevent the demolition of Greek Catholic churches.
