Abstract
Neste, it should be noted that in order to achieve social justice as one of the objectives of the Democratic State of Law, it is essential to promote and guarantee universal human rights by recognising the particularities of certain subjects of rights, including children and teenagers. It is the recognition of the peculiarities of the child and adolescent that they are considered to be specific subjects of rights, which is reflected in various national and international legal instruments, and not only in the specific instruments directly addressed to such persons, such as the Statute of the Child and the Adolescent. Therefore, in order to ensure compliance with those rights, regard must be had to the legal system as a whole. This is what this study seeks to demonstrate by emphasising, without seeking exhaustion, the main rights of the child and adolescent in various normative, internal and international instruments.
