Summary/Abstract: The rapid evolution of science and technology has conditioned the rethinking of traditional human rights. Scientific and technological progress creates opportunities and challenges for normative systems in building and strengthening fundamental human rights. The analysis of the relationship between human rights, science and technology seems to be extremely complex, due to the novelty of this subject. Research in this domain differs in terms of multitude, while a well-defined doctrinal vision is not yet outlined. It is necessary to substantiate the binary legal relation between law, science and technology, identify core elements and right balance between them, also identify new forms of violations caused by the use of new technologies, as well as to correlate human rights development at a level corresponding to a contemporary knowledge society. This paper addresses some aspects of the interaction between human rights and the progress of science and technology, as well as argues the need to adjust the development of fundamental rights, by clarifying doctrinal issues and incorporating solutions provided by jurisprudence.
