Rule of law and human rights are connected categories. Rule of law would be empty definition without human rights and human rights protection cannot be enforced without the rule of law framework. The strong rule of law is key for human rights protection. Some of human rights are directly overlapping with the rule of law, as right for fair trial or freedom of speech. The paper is focused on the implementation of the rule of law framework adopted on international level into European level and it is followed by country analysis as the case study to verify the connection of rule of law and human rights.
