The fundamental democratic principles, among which we consider the principle of the State according to the Rule of Law as particularly significant, are being brought to life at present in the new democratic States of particularly Central Europe and in numerous developing countries. The implementation of these principles in the everyday life of society is the decisive indicator of the standard of political and legal culture which forms the framework of human rights. There is a plurality of theoretical concepts of human rights in the present day world, but the consensus in the fundamental concept of human rights is continuously increasing.
