The most effective mechanisms of the state of law, such as the procedures for the defence of fundamental human rights and the robust justice system that generate social equity and sustainable development represent important guarantees of ensuring human security and are complementary and interdependent with the universal imperatives of sustainable human survival in the conditions of the contemporary global crisis. The issue of correlation of the rule of law with human security is a subject that is treated situationally and in accordance or in tandem with a set of reasoned conditions. The paradigm of human security, supported by the concept of human rights, managed to bring a new breath to security studies in the last 2-3 decades, transforming and replacing the dominant conception, of realist origin, of state security in a chaotic world, where only military force can provide true protection.

The research and innovation policies are very difficult to evaluate due to the need to address multiple objectives, including to apply the global challenges approach. Due to the complexity of research and innovation processes, there is no gold standard, widely accepted in the field of evaluation of research and innovation policies or a welldefined methodology with concrete indicators for evaluating and assessing the research and innovation framework programmes. Therefore, evaluations of research and innovation policies are based on the intervention logic of the programme and on both quantitative and qualitative information from multiple sources, including surveys, interviews, case studies, expert group analyses, descriptive statistics, econometric analyses

This study examines the international regulatory framework, institutions, and support mechanisms related to refugee protection in the Republic of Moldova, assessing their functionality as international and European standards to be implemented in national states such as the Republic of Moldova. By referencing key international conventions, European documents, and international legislation, the study highlights the hierarchy of applicable legal instruments, the role and objectives of European and international institutions, and the contributions of partners involved in managing refugee flows. The investigation is conducted within the framework of the project "Camps and Camp-Like Settings in Urban Environments: Bridging Humanitarian and Development Activities", supported by the Swiss Network for International Studies (SNIS).
