Abstract

The idea of developing mechanisms to protect human rights emerged with the

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of French National Assembly, on August

26, 1789, which states that “the purpose of all political association is the preservation of the

natural and imprescriptible rights of man”. State Concerns for the international protection of

human rights have increased but from the second half of the twentieth century, after the

establishment of the United Nations Organization, who proposed that one of the aims to be

achievement of international cooperation in promoting and encouraging respect for

fundamental rights and freedoms of man, thus spurring the creation of protective mechanisms

at global and regional levels, able to control the actual translation of regulations enshrining

rights.

Key words: human rights, protection mechanisms, protection procedures, non-judicial,

judicial procedures
