Sumario:This work deals with the limitations that the Government is legally authorized to make in relation to the validity of human and constitutional rights within states of emergency and, specifically, deals with cases of war, internal threats and the principle of strict necessity. In each of them, the author discusses in detail the casuistry and the possible terms of definition, developing extensive explanations on the European jurisprudence, of the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations Organization and of the Inter-American Commission. Special mention is made of the Lawless case, the case of Greece and the case of Ireland versus the United Kingdom of the European organizations; and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Chile of the United Nations system.
