Summary/Abstract: The field of social sciences is characterized by a tendency towards specialization by means of fragmentation and regrouping. The science of human rights, gradually grown in the framework of such a process, is influenced by and influences in turn other social sciences, with which it comes to contact or interferes, contacts and interferences presented by the author in their evolution. The science of the international human rights law represents, according to the author, a sub-system within the international law system, which, in turn, is a sub-system within the legal sciences system, alongside other sub-systems that have become systems in relationship to their constitutive components, that is, their sub-systems. This science, seen as a micro system, has its own object, norms, procedures and rules, methods and sources, which define its identity and give it distinctive features; it also has communication links within the micro system and outside it, as well as internal and external means of adjustment related to the international and the domestic environment, owing to which this science maximizes its objectives.
