GUARANTEE AND CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO

Abstract

In the vast majority of European countries, the Constitutional Courts have jurisdiction
over the protection of human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. This
jurisdiction also belongs to the Constitutional Court in the Republic of Kosovo, which
also targets the protection of individuals from violations that may be committed by public
authorities against individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. In this case,
the authorized parties are only individuals who can make this reference only after having
exhausted all legal remedies provided by law.
Through this paper, I have elaborated on the guarantee of rights and freedoms with the
highest legal and political activities in the Republic of Kosovo, as well as the constitutional
protection in case of violation of these rights and freedoms, at the same time reflecting
the obstacles that accompanied individuals over the years to seek effective constitutional
protection.
Therefore, the research question is: Have the obstacles to seeking constitutional
protection been avoided as a result of which many constitutional claims referred to by
individuals regarding the violation of constitutional rights and freedoms have been declared
inadmissible? Constitutional jurisprudence has proven that there is considerable progress
in this regard as individuals have become aware and now have the knowledge to meet the
necessary constitutional and legal criteria to seek effective constitutional protection.
