Participation of local government in the protection of human rights

Local government units perform a number of tasks which, in consequence, have an impact on the quality of life of the local community. Importantly, the tasks that are carried out by the local government very often remain closely related to each other, because the correct implementation of one task may be related to the implementation of other own tasks. This is also the case when local self-governments fulfill their positive and negative obligations in the field of human rights protection.
