Jump to navigation Jump to search

Human Rights in the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka consists human rights that are protected by the Constitution, its amendments and any enacted legislation as well as state laws. Since the transition from the Vistulzkan Republic and the Noble Republic into the Orthodox Republic after the Transmedan War, human rights and protections have been significantly strengthened and protected. The 1940 Constitution of Vistulzka included a segment termed the Charter of Human Rights, a series of constitutional statements explicitly outlining unalienable rights to citizens and the specific rights entitled to non-citizens within the country.

Stanisław Bełza, the 6th President of Vistulzka from 1962 to 1968 placed his administrative focus on the championship of human rights. He signed into place the Declaration of the Advancement of Human Rights, which added several different human rights under federal protection that were not defined within the constitutional Charter of Human Rights. In particular, the declaration put into place the Husiev Clause, which outlawed any form of employment discrimination, for both private and public enterprises based on race, ethnicity, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and national orientation. Bełza placed a special emphasis on Edvárdian Principles as a staunch Edvárdist. Since Bełza's signing of the declaration, the advancement of human rights and their protection have become a national priority.

Despite constitutional and legislative protections of human rights, there are still various concerns within the country. Vistulzka has significant domestic issues regarding historical racism and discrimination against Helimians. One of the newest issues facing the country is concerns regarding the use of excessive force by law enforcement and the Milicja Zbrojne. The Stellaris Conglomerate, Yedysan Security and other private security firms being used by law enforcement have also been discussed as part of a bigger concern, the militarization of police within the country. Additionally, discrimination exists between the three primary ethnicities within the country.
