Abstract

Abstract: Through international treaties, human rights have reached the pinnacle of their legitimacy, being ratified by most countries. Respecting the human rights is the legal foundation for a democratic society in which the military has a defining role. In the comprehensive approach of the European institutions, protecting and promoting the human rights of military personnel are preconditions for regional unity, stability and security. The European documents provide an integrated understanding of the concept of rights and freedoms in relation to the special status of military personnel in society, representing regulated standards of conduct. Promoting the culture of respect for the fundamental values of human rights, both in the process of military education and training, as well as in exercising their specific tasks, represents an instrument for maintaining the order, discipline and morale of the military, ensuring the effectiveness of military actions and an overwhelming factor supporting the achievement of strategic objectives.
