Universal Protection of Human Rights and Central Europe: Slovakia

The protection of human rights is a fundamental principle that underlies democratic societies and international law. This article examines the universal protection of human rights through the lens of the Slovak Republic, analysing its commitment to international standards. The perspective of domestic human rights law established mainly by the Constitution will be completed by the research concerned with the implementation of human rights documents. The focus will be on the position of the most influencing human rights conventions, such as The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights or the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
