Alexandrion Foundation organised, on 30 and 31 March, at the New Montana Hotel in Sinaia, the first edition of “The Sinaia Debates”, an event launching a series of public-interest debates with renowned participants from Romania and abroad.
“The Sinaia Debates” is a concept through which we wish to bring together prominent national and international personalities from politics, administration, law and the media, to debate topics of interest to our society. The guests are drawn from the most competent and creative personalities in the fields discussed, and we wish to establish here, in Sinaia, a wide-ranging system from which real solutions for society can emerge. We begin with the field of law, because a country without justice and without fair rules cannot function.
Nawaf Salameh, President of Alexandrion Foundation
The theme of the first edition was “The Rule of Law. Premises, Conditions, Functioning”, and the format included three different rounds of debate. The first centred on the premises of the rule of law, the second round addressed the conditions of the rule of law, while the third focused on how the rule of law functions in our country.
Participants debated a wide range of subjects, such as the meaning of the law, the jurisdiction of the rule of law, the separation of powers, democratic legitimacy, abuses within the rule of law, corrective mechanisms in the rule of law, and law in the European Union. The proceedings were published under the same title by Editura Meteor (Bucharest).
