Summary/Abstract: The development of the human rights field, at the beginning of XXIst century, brings new challenges for the legal academic school under the pressure to realize a continuous effort to adapt itself to multiple changes of the global world and equally, to those changes resulted from the state and non-state entities actions, under the impact of specific threats and problems. Within this context, we propose in this paper “a right of human being to be protected from stress -the negative excessive stress-“; in our opinion, this right can be considered, from the beginning, to belong to the IVth generation of human rights, after the category of solidarity rights. Particularly, we consider that it should be adopted (under the aegis of UN.GA) a “Charter for the human rigths protection of the metropolitan man”, facing the situations and conditions of life generating a level of stress that is an exclusive feature of the metropolitan style of life, an action prescribed in order to rise concretely the level of protection for human rights, face to challenges brought by postmodern lifestyle. This Charter would realize a consecration of human rights starting from a specific quality of human being (as “living into great urban agglomerations”- metropolis, megalopolis), and by taking into account the universality of the urbanization phenomena, as specific phenomena of the global age, at the beginning of the XXIst century. Quality of the human being “to live into great urban agglomerations” should be taken, in our opinion, into consideration, more attentively, by the XXIst century legal academic school, this quality shifting towards a legal quality, and generating rights and obligations specific to the human being of the XXIst century global society. Also, it should be recommended to ellaborate (possibly, through a Romanian proposal within UN.GA) a declaration, signed by UN states, regarding an international day of fighting against negative excessive stress.
