Law of the persons

Abstract

Abstract: The human person is at the center of social and legal life. Roman law recognized and acknowleged this truth with the adage “hominum causa omne jus constitutum est”2. In this paper we propose to make an introduction to the law of the persons in Argentina. Our approach to the subject will focus on the provisions of the Civil and Commercial Code (Law 26994) which was approved in 2014 and came into force in August 2015. We will take into account the National Constitution and International Human Rights Treaties that relate to persons. We will present the classification of persons in the Code and we will make a synthetic reference to or "moral" "legal persons".
