The  current  paper  presents  the  pro  homine  principle  as  a  means  of  realisation  and  a  “canon  of  interpretation”  in  the  pursuit  of  more  effective  and  more  efficient  protection  of  the  rights  of  the  individual.  The  discussed  principle  may  also  be  used  to  fill  in  lacunas  in  international  treaties,  as  well  as  to  ensure  axiological  cohesion,  which  may  lead  to  crystallisation,  clarification  of  norms  or  their  evolution  into  principles  of  conventional  nature.  Implementation  of  the  pro  homine  principle supports  in  detecting  and  counteracting  arbitrariness  and  identifying  protective  measures  that  remain  merely  declarative  in  nature.</p>}, number={16}, journal={The Age of Human Rights Journal}, author={Kowalska, Samanta}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={207–219} }
