The provisions on human rights and civil rights in the 2013 Constitution have marked a progress in constitutional reform. However, the implementation of constitutional rights have still faced many challenges in practice. One of these challenges is inappropriate awareness on human rights of public actors as well as the people. A rights-based approach, an approach that pays equal attention to what should be done and to how it should be done, will contribute to better constitutional rights realization by raising both awareness of right-holders and the sense of responsibility of dutybearers.
