Human and civil rights have emerged as a crucial legal institution, evolving through constitutional law, legal theory, and various legislative sectors. This institution gained prominence in the latter half of the 20th century, both nationally and internationally. It represents one of the most significant achievements in society’s legal development, tracing back to ancient times and culminating in its current status as an essential feature of democratic, rule-of-law states.
However, the contemporary approach to democracy’s principles is considered somewhat outdated. There’s a global need to reassess established concepts and develop fresh perspectives on equality, justice, and protection.
The enduring stability of human and civil rights protection is rooted in scientifically and practically tested principles. This concept’s viability and progressive nature stem from a blend of legal, moral, traditional, and other social regulatory norms. Such an approach helps prevent legal negativity from dominating the legal system and curbs legal nihilism and indifference.
Legal principles serve as indicators of law’s development and starting points for legal regulation. They should reflect fundamental values, embodying the essence of “ideal” law. These principles aim to ensure ideological consistency in lawmaking, law enforcement, and overall legal order, guiding the legal system towards universal ideals like democracy, justice, equality, humanism, and individual freedom.
Humanism, as a legal concept, views humans as supreme, self-sufficient, and self-aware beings. It manifests in at least two ways: as a moral requirement for human behavior and as a recognition of human beings as the highest social value within the state.
