In the face of today’s complex social conditions, new mechanisms are also needed to protect and improve human rights and freedoms to prevent violations.

First, these two institutions have historicaly been handled within the scope of their entry into our national legislation. In the following chapters, the institutional structure, functions and efficiency are compared within the scope of Paris Principles and the effectiveness of their decisions regarding the relations between the administration and individuals has been evaluated. In the conclusion part, the effectiveness of both institutions in terms of protecting and improving human rights was discussed and criticism and suggestions were included.
