What happens when the rule of law meets the practice of human rights? One notion expresses it synthetically: constitutionalizing the person. This article delves into its implications; that is, the full alignment of all the State activities towards the achievement of the fundamental interests of every human being. It will do so by focusing on the characteristics that identify human rights: universality, indivisibility, interdependency inalienability, progressiveness, imprescriptibility, indefeasibility. It also describes the trends that are currently strengthening the Rule of Law and Human Rights relationship.

Keywords : Rule of law; Human rights; Universality principle; Progressiveness principle; Indivisibility and Interdependence principles; Indefeasibility principle.
