The discussion on human rights always refers to the relationship between a person and a specific authority. The rights of a given person are the element that is supposed to allow them to effectively demand their own dignity, in particular in a situation in which they experience a specific injustice. The harm felt is most often caused by a clear disproportion between the rule of a specific institution or ruler and the capabilities of a person. That is why we talk, for example, about the need to guarantee the rights of a patient in a situation where a hospital or educated doctors make the patient feel aggrieved. A slightly different situation concerns the rights of the child. Here too, we have an element of power. We are talking here about parental authority. However, this is a different type of relationship. The authority mentioned here is presented by people who (most often) care for and love the child. At the same time, however, the child mentioned here is in the position of a person who in certain situations must adapt to the will of the parents. Is such a situation always necessary? Can children's rights introduce a specific democratic system in the family? What is the connection between children's rights and the obligations of the youngest? When speaking about children's rights, should we always remember the aforementioned obligations?
This article will attempt to answer these questions.
