Abstract
Its a fact that even to this day human rights are violated all around the world. There are violations against the dignity of the human person, his rights and freedom. All of this occurs even in developed democratic countries and most often dirty politics is involved. The author underlines the close ties between don Boscos educational system and the Convention for the Rights of the Child. The Salesian educational system promotes a preventive approach for the rights of man which includes education for human rights and active and responsible world citizenship. The characteristics of this education are education for values, dialogue and a multidisciplinary approach. It does not suffice to merely learn about human rights, rather, there must be integral education for human rights. Integral education is a life-long process so it must take place within the school and in extracurricular activities. It is important to include all human rights: civil, cultural, economic, political and social and responsibilities and duties. The article ends with a chronological survey of human rights from the end of the Second World War to the present.
