A CRITICAL APPROACH ON THE INTERSECTION OF PRIVATE LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the complexity of the interaction between private law and human rights, highlighting the challenges and legal implications that arise at this intersection. In the context of the evolution of international and European norms, the authors analyze how private law – traditionally oriented towards interpersonal relations and the protection of individual interests – must adapt to human rights standards, which aim to protect dignity and equality. The paper examines practical examples and relevant jurisprudence to highlight situations where human rights can influence rights and obligations in the private sphere, such as the right to privacy, non-discrimination or justice. It also discusses the legal and ethical implications of transposing human rights principles into the private domain, including the risk of over-regulation and possible conflicts of interest. Finally, a critical and balanced approach is proposed to ensure harmonization between these areas, respecting both individual autonomy and universal human rights standards.
