In this work we will try to present the evolution of regulations concerning the main human rights, at constitutional level, during the socialist and capitalist period respectively, after 1990. We will also analyse the implications that the ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights had since 1994 and also the accession of Romania to the European Union in 2007. We will debate here the issues raised by the means that the individual can use in order to acquire knowledge concerning this fundamental domain, in permanent expansion. Interdisciplinarity in the human rights education will allow the individual interaction with the philosophy of human rights within the school. In this sense, we will also mention here the existence of programs intended to create trainers in education for democracy.
