Abstract

When discussing human rights, we specifically refer to the protection that international law guarantees to individuals (and groups) – including children – through international treaties and other mechanisms. It should be emphasised that the idea of limiting the power of the state over the individual is much older than these international legal mechanisms. Human rights are, therefore, a cross-cutting issue regulated not only by international law but also, and above all, by domestic law. International human rights protection differs from traditional international law in many ways and covers a wide range of issues. In addition to the development of international human rights protection, this article outlines the basis for understanding human rights, characteristics of human rights obligations, and possibilities for limiting them.
