The Cyprus Legal System
Administrative, Constitutional and some aspects of Human Rights Law are a branch of public law.
- Administrative Law: This is a part of the law that governs the activities of administrative authorities or public bodies of a state.
- Constitutional law deals with the basic and fundamental principles by which a democratic state and its socioeconomic structure operate.
- Human rights Law is inextricably connected with many aspects of the law, including immigration, employment, ownership, suffrage and political opinion, discrimination, personal and family life and criminal law and procedure. These inalienable rights are protected by the constitution and many other international charters and conventions.
