Summary/Abstract: Options are divided when it comes to the origin of consecration of the human rights in Europe. Some analysts consider that a fundamental role was played by ancient Greek thought or by the Christian religion. Others opinion is that English constitutional history, the philosophy of the Century of Lights or the French Revolution have contributed to the development of the human rights concept. This process of affirmation of the human rights in Europe has been accelerated by the two world wars.
