The subject "Human rights and their protection" proposes the study of the main fundamental rights
recognized in the Spanish Constitution of 1978, making a tour of their main characteristics, both from
the will of the constituent and the successive interpretations made both from a normative perspective
as jurisprudential.
It includes the analysis of the systems of guarantee and protection of the fundamental rights
provided for in the Spanish constitutional system with special emphasis on the jurisprudential
interpretation of the same carried out by the Constitutional Court.
Likewise, the protection of these rights will be addressed in the various international instances of
which our country is a part.
