COMPARATIVE VIEW OF THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS WITH THE CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THEIR TRENDS IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Abstract

The second half of the 20th century was the era when countries opened up beyond their borders. This period also marks the creation of the largest and oldest international governmental organization, the United Nations. In parallel with these integrations, in Europe and beyond, the awareness of human rights is developing - a value which, by its nature, is inalienable, indivisible, absolute, and universal. 

The paper will discuss how the European Convention on Human Rights is developing, a counterpart to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which is being developed under the example of the ECHR. These two international documents are interesting for analysis and comparison and have implications for the entire international community. What they have in common is that they have almost similar provisions, which indicates that a certain 
range of human rights was valid in that development process of the international community. Later, that list was expanded by the American Declaration of Human Rights.
 It is important to know that the international community elevates human rights as the highest human value. The existence of these documents is only a step forward towards the integration of the modern international community.
