“A rights-based approach is essential in every social and public policy,” Ms. Ballanca emphasized, reminding attendees that the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, from its very preamble, defines the establishment of a rule-of-law state as one that guarantees fundamental freedoms and human rights.

She underscored the importance of institutional and societal awareness in upholding this principle, particularly in an era marked by shifting dynamics that increasingly impact both security and individual rights.

“This message must be continuously reinforced and become embedded in our institutional and social conscience,” she stated.

The conference gathered a diverse group of experts, academics, and professionals from across disciplines to explore the pressing challenges surrounding justice, security, and human rights, both within Albania and on a global scale. The event served as a platform for sharing innovative ideas and practical solutions to contemporary legal and societal issues.
