Abstract

Current research shows a special system of human rights protection established to protect certain groups of vulnerable individuals with emphasis on the main international conventions prepared within the global and regional context such as gender, children, torture, racial discrimination, people with deficiency and others. The deduction method and bibliographical research in books, journals, theses, scientific articles and documents published by international organisms are employed. Current analysis reveals that reflections obtained by the implementation of this special system of protection are the embodiment of human rights with equality without forgetting the respect to difference.
