Abstract: Protecting human rights is one of the most important obligations and responsibilities of political systems in human societies. Individuals’ enjoyment of human rights and public freedoms has been considered the most important responsibility and one of the most fundamental obligations of rulers and administrators towards citizens. This issue has been considered throughout history as the fundamental, legal, and legal axis of individuals and legislation has been made based on it. The fundamental rights of citizens have been defined and specified in this type of law. In the history of Afghanistan, despite all the problems, developments, and crises of political, intellectual, social, cultural, and the like; the issue of human rights and general freedoms of individuals has been considered and reflected in the past laws of this country. Legal and legal support mechanisms have also been foreseen to protect these rights and freedoms. However, in the field of implementation and enforcement of legislative documents in force in the country, unfortunately, there have been problems and not much has been set as a benchmark for action. In this short article, the existing capacities and capacities in legislative documents and legal support mechanisms in line with human rights values in this country have been briefly examined. Due to research limitations, it is not possible to address all legislative documents related to this issue, so some of these important legislative documents have been mentioned.
