Abstract
The development of human rights in contemporary world was possible due to the application the achievements of legal philosophers. First of all, medieval thinkers laid the groundwork for today’s organized system of recognizing the important values which today define universal human rights. The United Nations, as the successor of the concepts of the League of Nations, is the entity which internationalized this issue. Trying to create a definition of human rights draws attention to the essential value of this concept, that is, dignity and freedom. Despite the difficulties in formulating a clear definition it was tried to describe them and extract the directory common. Analyzing human rights from the perspective of developmental stages, it turns out that at the stage of conceptualization it appeared in the issue of separation of fundamental rights of units. Thus, when juridification has ensured the rights arising from the philosophical concepts, which proved to be universal values also in the modern globalized world. However, this does not mean that the process was hassle-free. Specific problems inherent in the international community, like the lack of unanimity in crucial matters, significantly lengthened the process. Initially, it was not possible to work out effective mechanisms of protection, and only demands were developed. Only by historical changes and the important breakthrough events, legal and international efforts became possible to undertake joint efforts to ensure and guarantee the protection of individual human rights. These activities resulted in the adoption of multilateral normative acts, the provisions of which have proved to be fundamental to the contemporary activities of the international community and non-governmental organizations for the protection of individual human rights.
