Summary/Abstract: Human rights are a central issue with international relations. The importance that has to be attached to human rights in the diplomatic activity comes out not only from the norms, the principles and the values assumed by the international community, but also from the commitments assumed by the States in accordance with the international law. The author largely refers to the conclusions of a study made by the French National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, including the necessity that human rights issues be promoted dynamically by means of diplomacy, as well as the necessity that a French Institute of Human Rights be established which, through its research work, could offer substantial assistance to diplomacy, both at bilateral level and in the framework of international organizations.
