Abstract

The protection of human rights is a fundamental element in the concept of the modern state of law because the law not only functions as a tool to regulate people's lives, but also as an instrument of protection for the basic rights of citizens. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of human rights protection regulations in the perspective of the modern legal state (Law Number 28A through 28J of the 1945 Constitution) and examine the urgency of discussing these regulations in contemporary legal developments. The research uses normative juridical methods with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The source of legal materials consists of primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations and secondary legal materials in the form of books, scientific journals, and academic articles for the last five years. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of human rights protection regulations is influenced by the quality of regulations, harmonization of laws and regulations, law enforcement, independence of legal institutions, and public legal awareness. In addition, technological developments and social transformation have caused the protection of human rights to continue to be adapted to the dynamics of modern law. Therefore, strengthening regulations, reforming laws, and improving the quality of law enforcement are important steps in realizing a democratic, fair legal state, and able to provide optimal human rights protection.
