(Summary)

International protection and promotion of the rights of the child has 
been evolving from the ancient times. However, the modern phase of its de-
velopment began in 1945 with the establishment of the Organization of the 
United Nations. In this article the author shows how the evolution of the 
international protection of the human rights, especially of the rights of the 
child, resulted in development of the separate institute of the internation-
al protection and promotion of human rights regarded as separate branch 
of the international law.
In the article you will fi nd the argumentation of the emphasis made 
on the special protection of the rights of the child, as well as their promo-
tion presented. The author adduces arguments with regard to the common 
rules and principles of the system of law theory itself, evaluation of the 
conceptual categories: “human being” and “child”, as well as evaluation 
of the equality of the rights of all humans with respect to special protection 
of the rights of the child and some limitations of the rights of infants and 
minors. In the last part of the article the author provides the separate clas-
sifi cation of the sources of the institute of international protection and pro-
motion of the rights of the child.
