Protection of Human Rights and the Role of the Albanian Rule of Law in their Respect and Implementation, Particularly in the Right to Fair Trial

Abstract

This paper reflects a picture of the legal changes that have occurred in Albanian state, the reforms that have been under taken in law and in particular in the field of human rights. The establishment of democracy has required fundamental changes not only in recognition of the rights and fundamental freedoms, but also the sanction of real guarantees for the protection and enforcement of these rights, without the existence of these guarantees, the recognizing would not have any value and would be utopia. Issues raised for discussion in this paper are: Protection of human rights in democracy and their implementation. Guarantees that the Albanian Constitution provides for the recognition and protection of human rights. The role of law enforcement bodies in the implementation of protective mechanisms and in particular the justice system to ensure respect for the right to due judicial process .Through analysis of the legal and judicial practice in the field of protection of human rights, we aim to bring out the challenges faced by the Albanian institutions, whether nationally as well as internationally. A state that respects and protects human values testifies a healthy society that has consolidated basis and that stimulates economic, social and cultural prosperity.
