• Resumen

  • This communication aims to analyse the situation of human rights in Catalonia. International law and European law will be taken into account. Compliance with international standards of human rights, democracy and the rule of law will be the subject of analysis. Likewise, the principle of pluralism and interculturalism in Catalonia will be addressed . It is also appropriate to address the issue from the perspective of the rights of minorities and subminorities. International and European human rights law and the constitutional and European framework provide a relevant and necessary approach of analysis to interpret the situation of human rights in Catalonia. The study aims to move away from activism at the service of nationalism to serve as an objective and neutral framework against interpretations of the law guided by purposes other than human rights.
