THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE VULNERABLE AS A COROLLARY OF THE PROTECTION OF PERSONALITY RIGHTS

Abstract

The article addresses the protection of the rights of the vulnerable from the perspective of guaranteeing and affirming personality rights. The protection of personality rights plays a fundamental role in protecting the vulnerabilities of individuals. Personality rights are those that aim to safeguard essential aspects of the person, such as physical, psychological, moral and social integrity, ensuring their dignity and autonomy. By recognizing and protecting personality rights, the legal system seeks to ensure that subjects can fully exercise their freedom and develop their personality in an autonomous and dignified manner. This includes protection against violations, abuses, and discrimination that may compromise the integrity and well-being of individuals. In this sense, the protection of personality rights works as a mechanism to defend the vulnerabilities of the subjects, ensuring that they are respected in their individuality and that their interests and needs are considered. Through the legal protection of personality rights, individuals can protect themselves from situations that place them in a position of fragility or helplessness, thus promoting greater equality and justice in social relations. Therefore, the protection of personality rights plays a crucial role in protecting the vulnerabilities of individuals, contributing to the construction of a more just, supportive society that respects human dignity.
