PELLIAN HORIZONS ON WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S RIGHTS
PELLIAN HORIZONS ON WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: Human rights protection has been a constant concern for states even since the interwar period. By addressing the issue of minorities, the peace conferences at the end of the First World War raised the issue of human rights for the first time. In the years that followed, under the auspices of the League of Nations states joined forces in order to ban trafficking in women and children and to abolish the slavery. On October 12, 1929, at the Institute of International Law in New York, the Declaration of International Human Rights which required states to recognize human rights was voted. In this context, we shall analyse the activity of Romanian jurist Vespasian V. Pella and his involvement in the movement for the consecration of women's and children's rights. The paper is focused on Pella’s works and also on the recording of his activity in the documents of the time.
