Abstract

The principal objective of this document
aims at providing a broad and yet clear overview
of the relevant norms and standards
set by international and domestic law for
human rights protection in Macedonia.
In light of Macedonia’s efforts to implement
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
and the Government’s commitment to the EU
integration process, which includes continuous
review of human rights protection, this document therefore seeks to:
• Support the identification of human rights challenges, which constitute
obstacles to local and national development planning and implementation
processes;
• Clarify the role of rights holders and duty bearers, the responsibilities and
competences of local/national government and of other local stakeholders,
and at the same time to show the need for cooperation and partnerships for
joint action by those stakeholders;
• Support the identification of groups of the population in particular difficult/excluded/
marginalized situations;
• Promote awareness and understanding of human rights principles, show
the comprehensiveness of a human rights approach based on civil, cultural,
economic, political and social rights with special emphasis on women’s
rights and children’s rights and contribute to a “culture of respect for
human rights”
