Summary/Abstract: The promotion and protection of human rights through litigation and "ombudsman" institutions in relations with public administration is an extremely new field. It aims to protect and promote human rights, to find and apply appropriate solutions to streamline some of the contentious and non-contentious means of protecting and promoting human rights in their relations with the public administration. The activity of promoting and protecting human rights and freedoms has known a constant and positive evolution that is mainly based on the practice accumulated by the states, as, with the development of interstate relations, the problems related to this field acquire new valences. There is a close interdependence between public administration, good governance and contentious and non-contentious means of protecting and promoting human rights, in the sense that an efficient public administration cannot exist without good governance and without mechanisms that guarantee and protect human rights; and without good governance as the foundation of a rule of law, it is impossible to discuss the effectiveness of such mechanisms in real and current terms.
