The relationship between penal law and human rights is complex and multifaceted. While penal law aims to protect society, it must also respect the rights of individuals.
Human rights are fundamental rights that every individual possesses. In the context of penal law, these rights must be upheld during legal proceedings, ensuring fair treatment and due process.

Balancing the need for public safety with the protection of human rights is a challenge for lawmakers and the judiciary. It is crucial to ensure that penal laws do not infringe upon basic human rights.
