Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova

The Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova was a document adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova following the Collapse of the Soviet Union.

The document claims "millenary history" and "uninterrupted statehood" within historic and ethnic borders.

The Republic of Moldova gained official recognition of statehood on 2 March 1992 when gaining membership of the United Nations.

Disputed status of Transnistria

The Moldovan Declaration of Independence clearly and directly claims Moldovan Sovereignty over the territory of Transnistria as it is "a component part of the historical and ethnic territory of our people". However the Moldovan Declaration of Independence is itself used as an argument against Moldovan sovereignty over Transnistria as it denounces the agreement of August 23 1939 between the government of the USSR and the government of Germany "null and void" being the only formal union between the two territories.
