For a long time, the issue of the state of law and human rights has always been debated among state legal experts and political thinkers. The purpose is to find an ideal concept about the state of law and the protection of human rights. However, for centuries, the concept of the state of law and the protection of human rights that are considered ideal has always been a debate. Moreover, so far there has been an impression that understanding human rights protection is superficially understood because it is only seen as mere moral guidelines. That understanding is wrong understanding because the understanding is not only on the moral order but also on the legal order. The facts show that, as a result of a superficial understanding of human rights, respect and also the enforcement of human rights are often not carried out properly as envisioned by a state of law. Based on this fact, this book has been compiled by referring to various literatures on constitutional law, political science and philosophy, which also describe the concept of the state of law and human rights, the concept of sovereignty and democracy, and the concepts of protection and the enforcement of human rights. Thus, the reader's understanding of the concept of the state of law and human rights can be understood in its entirety The understanding is not only in the concept of the state of law in legal formal way, but also in understanding more theoretical and philosophical concepts. Likewise, the understanding of human rights is also not only about conceptual understanding, but also understanding in the form of respect and protection of human rights implemented through the enforcement of human rights law.

The paper analyzes the role and services provided by the Protector of Citizens, specifically related to the legal order of the Republic of Serbia. A historical retrospective, and then through a comparative legal analysis of the origin and conception of this type of institutional protection of human rights in general, and through practical experiences, an insight into the importance of the existence of this state body is given. The legal system of the Republic of Serbia knows this type of services in the field of human rights protection relatively briefly. For that reason, legal history does not offer answers to the practical repercussions of the existence of this institution in our country. As a result, the paper points out two dimensions of action. The first is the practice of the Protector of Citizens during the protests that took place during the restrictions on human rights due to the COVID19 pandemic, and the second is the political dimension of the role in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the essence and content of the categories «human rights», «protection of human rights», «human rights enforcement» in terms of the substantive relationship between the constitutional state and the individual in modern society. It is emphasized that addressing these terms through the prism of human rights in order to effectively implement them, it is necessary to clearly understand their content and scope of possible actions covered by them, as well as to distinguish between «protection» and «enforcement» at both scientific and legislativelevels, taking into account, inter alia, their lexical meaning. It is determined that everyone, on the one hand, should be able to freely choose the way to protect their rights, and on the other – must be sure that the state guarantees equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of race, language, skin color, political, religious and other beliefs, gender, ethnic and social origin, property status, place of residence, etc., to use these methods of protection. The role and importance of public authorities in the process of protection and enforcement of human rights and freedoms and the state responsibility to the individual as an integral part of ensuring constitutional human rights are also defined. It is concluded that an integral part of constitutional human rights enforcement is certainly the existence of an effective and efficient mechanism of legal responsibility of the state to the individual. Keywords: human rights, protection of human rights, human rights enforcement, public authorities, state responsibility.

At present, both the international and the regional levels of human rights protection lack an express definition of the positive obligation of states to protect human rights. Similarly, the doctrine lacks a unified opinion regarding this concept. For quite a long time, human rights were considered as such that give rise to so-called negative obligations of states to refrain from human rights violations. However, with the development of international human rights law, it is increasingly recognised that human rights also give rise to positive obligations of the state to take active measures to ensure these rights. Such obligations usually derive from international human rights treaties or from the interpretation of international judicial bodies that monitor the implementation of corresponding international treaties. Therefore, it is crucial for the doctrine and practice of international law in the field of human rights protection to analyse the positive obligations of the state, which are consolidated in international treaties and the practice of international judicial bodies. The purpose of this study is to analyse human rights and positive obligations of the state in the context of regional mechanisms for the protection of human rights. Among the general scientific methods, the study used the analysis and synthesis, as well as deduction, induction, prediction, modeling, analogy and other general scientific methods. A thorough study of the positive obligations of the state would be impossible even without the use of special methods of study and cognition, which include comparative legal, historical and legal, technical, and structural-functional methods. In particular, one of the leading research methods was the comparative legal method, which was used to study the practice of regional mechanisms for the protection of human rights. The study provides an overview of the modern interpretation of positive obligations of states. Specifically, this study focuses on the practice of the European, Inter-American and African Human Rights Courts in the context of applying the state's positive obligations

Regional human rights mechanism are now in place covering nearly all five continents with the notable exception of Australia. Regional and international human rights protection are not meant to thwart each other. On the contrary, the regional protection of human rights is intended to back up and strengthen the international one by translating human rights into local languages and supporting them with additional protective mechanisms like commissions and courts that enforce regional human rights documents. In this volume, five experts from various continents will introduce regional human rights protection systems in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and Australia providing an overview of the regional protections vis-à-vis the international one and then contextualising it in specific country context.

AbstractThe AEC is good news for Indonesian migrant workers wanting to work overseas. Unfortunately, many Indonesian migrant workers have been deported from ASEAN countries because of having problems. This study adopts the normative legal research method. It argues that AICHR may be slow in resolving the problems of human rights. It is also argued that the ASEAN Committee on Migrant Workers works in the absence of the political commitment of ASEAN leaders to implement the Cebu Declaration. Therefore, the best solution is public participation in the ASEAN countries to protect migrant workers.IntisariKomunitas Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN adalah berita baik untuk Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) untuk bekerja di luar negeri. Namun, banyak TKI yang kembali dari negara-negara ASEAN dikarenakan mendapatkan berbagai permasalahan. Penelitian ini mengadopsi jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa AICHR lamban dalam menyelesaikan permaslahan tentang hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini juga menyimpulkan bahwa komunitas ASEAN tentang Pekerja Migran bekerja dengan tidak adanya komitmen politik dari para pemimpim ASEAN dalam menerapkan Deklarasi Cebu. Oleh sebab itu, dibutuhkan partisipasi ASEAN dalam melindungi TKI.

The ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence in Poland was preceded by a heated debate. From the very beginning it was be object of political battles between the conservative and liberal circles. Culturally and socially conditioned position of women has influenced its operation and the scope of its implementation. The Convention is a universally binding tool which guarantees the protection of human rights in events of violence against the woman and children. The case of this Convention in Poland proofs the existence of a universal European understanding of human rights protection standards. The Convention thus has a protective function not only for individuals but also, in a broader context, for the common European cultural identity.

In Between Facts and Norms, Habermas articulates a system of rights, including human rights, within the democratic constitutional state. For Habermas, while human rights, like other subjective rights have moral content, they do not structurally belong to a moral system; nor should they be grounded in one. Instead, human rights belong to a positive and coercive legal order upon which individuals can make actionable legal claims. Habermas extends this argument to include international human rights, which are realised within the context of a cosmopolitan legal order. The aim of this paper is to assess the relevance of law as a mechanism for securing human rights protection. I argue that positive law does make a material difference to securing individual human rights and to cultivating and augmenting a general rights culture both nationally and globally. I suggest that Habermas' model of law presents the most viable way of negotiating the tensions that human rights discourse gives rise to: the tensions between morality and law, between legality and politics, and between the national and international contexts of human rights protection.
