The common law enforces statutes that may be based on treaties or declarations. It promotes human rights by applying precedent or creating precedent where none exists. Judges make decisions based on evidence presented and make legally binding decisions. Courts promote human rights by providing access to judgements that are used as precedents, both in courts and the general community. An example is the Toonen case. The Toonen case is a good example of how the common law promotes and enforces human rights. The case allows a court to recognise and apply an international decision.
