The human rights record of the Cape has been subject to much international condemnation and scrutiny. Particularly, the Cape’s combination of a {{wp|dominant-party system}}, a restricted opposition, and the frequent participation of the armed forces in politics has led to the country’s description as an {{wp|authoritarian democracy}} - if not an outright “authoritarian regime.” In 2020, the nation was ranked 16th out of 50 with a score of 6.73 on the [[Liberty Index]], placing it as a {{wp|hybrid regime}}. Although Capetians retain strong {{wp|personal freedoms}}, {{wp|civil liberties}}, and a semblance of democracy through participation in intra-party elections, the state has been criticized for restricting opposition groups, the {{wp|freedom of speech}}, and {{wp|freedom of the press}}. | The human rights record of the Cape has been subject to much international condemnation and scrutiny.

Political power remains cemented in the Republican Nationalist Party in a system of {{wp|guided democracy}}. Each opposition party must recognize ''Planoarita'' politics and the RNP’s “leading role” to participate. In 2014 and 2017, the Supreme Tribunal struck down and dissolved political parties that violated such measures, with the Constitutional Court doing the same in 2016 and 2022 against groups that violated the Constitution’s Restarkist provisions of state {{wp|secularism}}. In 2021, the Cape Armed Forces carried out a {{wp|coup d'état}} against an unpopular attempt to use the derogatory clause. Throughout, the [[Commission for the Preservation of the Republic|security services]]-dominated {{wp|deep state}}, colloquially referred to as the [[Republican Guard]], has continually remained active in defense of the status quo. | Political power remains cemented in the Republican Nationalist Party in a system of {{wp|guided democracy}}.
