Summary/Abstract: The article deals with Professor Mazurek’s interpretation of social human rights. The article presents the views of Alfred Verdros and Jacques Maritain whose philosophy influenced Professor’s scientific views. Central in his considerations is the dignity of human being, innate and indivisible. It is a universal value hence the laws derived therefrom are also universal and inalienable, creating an integral whole. They are also mutually dependent. The exercise of social rights conditions the use of liberty rights and vice versa. The purpose of proclamation and protection of human rights are not the rights themselves but the protection of human being on account of their dignity, and a guarantee of his/her integral development.
