    Abstract

    The Author makes an attempt to understand the causes of change in understanding the protection of human life and right to marry/found a family from the point of view of fundamental rights of the EU as compared to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. The Author verifies the thesis according to which a gradual “reevaluation of values” is, at its roots, connected with an anthropological shift that can be seen in the EU catalogue of fundamental rights. In the article divided into three parts, the Author makes an analysis of selected provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), from the point of view of the relation between anthropology, values and human rights as well as right to life and right to marry/found a family. In the second part, fundamental axiological regulations of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and of the Treaty on European Union are being analyzed in order to reveal an anthropological concept typical of the EU, whereas in the third part, one can see the importance of the anthropology adopted in the EU for the understanding within its framework the right to life and the right to marry and to found a family.
