Abstract

Although the issues relating to human rights and liberties are one of the oldest, they remain one of the most researched themes in the contemporary period, the research being conducted by diverse scientists and scholars, especially by those pertaining to jurisprudence. The increased attention human rights are granted is due to the fact that these rights are established in numerous and various sources of law, which often are stated in an evasive language to the reader. We can conclude that one of the main priorities of the scholars of legal sciences is to interpret and make known to each individual the correct meaning of these rights.
