The intersection of human rights and criminal law is a fundamental aspect of legal systems worldwide, reflecting the delicate balance between upholding justice and safeguarding individual liberties. This paper explores how human rights principles influence criminal law, the challenges in protecting these rights during criminal proceedings, and the impact of international human rights standards on domestic criminal justice systems. Through an analysis of key issues such as the right to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, protection against torture, and the rights of victims, this paper examines the ongoing efforts to harmonize justice and liberty. Case studies from various jurisdictions illustrate these challenges, offering insights into the complexities of enforcing human rights in the context of criminal law.
