Sažetak
This paper considers the formation, development and importance of the right to personal freedom. As a background to the matter considered here, the issue of human rights and fundamental freedoms is presented in general terms. The central part of the paper, which discusses the evolution of the right to personal freedom, provides an overview of the most important documents related to the "historical path" of this right, which have contributed to an understanding of their value and of the obligation to observe, promote and protect this right. Special attention is given to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in the interpretation of the European Court of Human Rights as the pinnacle of the evolution of the right to personal freedom. The concluding part discusses the importance of the right to personal freedom.
