Abstract

Upon the fall of communism, dictatorial regime in
Albania, there were created the possibilities for the theoretical-practical
discussion on the human rights. All this, the law and the justice system during
the years in our county was in transition. In function of this, in years, a
justice reform in Albania has been a necessity. In this paper, we will treat
the general framework presented by the state of law in Albania, stopping in some
important moments such as justice reform (Laying the groundwork for a
consolidated rule of law), decisions of Constitutional Court of the Republic of
Albania, etc. Also we will treat some problematic moments that appeared at the
field of human rights, which is a warranty of the State of Law. The formal
improvement of the legislation or organization of institutions is not enough to
realize the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, but more is
needed in this direction.
