Human rights in Rwizikuru have traditionally been one of the worst in the world, with political rights having been non-existent since the late 1950s, with the last free and fair nationwide elections prior to the 2019 elections to draft a new constitution taking place in 1954. As well, civil rights have traditionally also been poor, especially as the government had strict lèse-majesté laws which prohibit criticism of the royal family, or of any Rwizikuran monarch, as well as restricts the freedom of assembly.

(TBC) has reported that the practice of arbitrary arrest and detention and torture is common within the country, while corruption is widespread, with the average Rwizikuran in 2006 paying an average of sixteen bribes a month. Public executions are still conducted in Rwizikuru, with the last public execution taking place in 2013 with the execution of a rapist.

While the 2019 elections to draft a new Rwizikuran constitution have been free and fair, concerns exist around potential voter intimidation and voter fraud, especially in municipal elections.
