Democracy and Human Rights as Topics of the Macedonian Political System Research and Practice

Summary/Abstract: Concepts such as human rights, democracy, freedom, political and civil liberties are overlapping concepts. The relationship between human rights and democracy looks more like the pieces of a puzzle because they complement each other. The essence of human rights is to verify the judicial position of the individual within state power. Given the breadth of democracy and its complexity this paper introduces the reader to the scope of the concept of human rights and democracy in general. A variety of ideas provide insight into the relationship between the fields of democracy and human rights. The theory of democratic government rests upon a simple premise: a fair system of voting determines a majority which governs while respecting the human rights of the minority. This paper will examine the interdependence of all ideas of human rights during the transitional period of the Republic of Macedonia’s change to democracy since 1991. For contemporary democratic regimes human rights have become the keystone of the modern state.
