The aim is to present to you the most common mechanisms of human rights protection. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to list key mechanisms of protection of human rights and identify appropriate and relevant mechanisms in your country.
States committed to respecting human rights have this stated in their constitutions or fundamental laws. They are also signatories to international treaties guaranteeing equal human rights standards.
Respect for human rights means that every state has an effective system of human rights protection through courts and other institutions at all levels.
Also, effective international human rights protection systems have been developed in some parts of the world. As mentioned in the previous lesson, 48 European countries are signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the citizens of these countries that – after exhausting legal protection in their country – they can seek protection from the European Court of Human Rights. The judgments and opinions of the European Court of Human Rights are also guidelines for the courts of the signatory states to the Convention.
In addition to judicial protection, NGOs at all levels also play an important role in promoting human rights. These organizations inform citizens, provide legal protection, advocate for changes in the law and the legal framework, and closely monitor the human rights situation, about which they regularly report to the public in their reports.
In the materials posted below on the page, you will learn about human rights protection systems.

Srbija poseduje dosta dobro napisan Zakon o zabrani diskriminacije. Veliki problem predstavlja jako mali broj prijavljenih slučajeva, tj. veliki broj diskriminisanih se odlučuje da ne prijavi slučaj. Razlozi su različiti ali kao i za sve za šta se LGBT+Q+ zajednica borila, tako se moramo izboriti i za primenu ovog zakona jer on može uticati na povećanje svesti i obezbeđivanje bezbednog i inkluzivnog radnog okruženja.
