IZVOARE CONVENȚIONALE ALE UNIUNII EUROPENE ÎN DOMENIUL PROTECȚIEI DREPTURILOR FUNDAMENTALE ALE OMULUI

The international treaties on human rights are the fundamental conventional sources de jure applicable in this area and at the level of the European Union. The evolution of their content relevant to the fundamental rights is spectacular, starting from the lack of interest in terms of regulations expressed in the Treaty of Rome signed in 1957, to the rules of reference to the (European) Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms contained in the Single European Act or the Treaty of Maastricht and up to the establishment of the European Union’s own protection mechanism under the Treaty of Lisbon and the Charter of fundamental rights.
