General Public Law, which is the branch of law regulating the relations between the state and citizens or the state's own institutions, is also directly related to the freedoms of individuals. Within the scope of general public law, firstly the state and then the rights and freedoms of individuals are analysed. Although general public law is close to constitutional law, it differs from constitutional law in terms of the way it deals with issues. While constitutional law examines a concrete, specific state, human rights and freedoms are analysed in an abstract and general way without being limited to a specific country within the department of general public law.
In this direction, the idea that prepares the birth of the modern state, the structural and legal characteristics of the state, especially sovereignty, the form and types of the state, the emergence of human rights and freedoms, the evaluation of human rights and freedoms by natural law, and basic information about how human rights and freedoms should be protected at national and international level are examined within this department.
