Resumen

This paper involves a study of private property rights from the perspective of international human rights law. To this end, the United Nations, European and Inter-American systems of protection will be analyzed, both in terms of the treatment of private property rights in their main normative documents, as well as regarding the interpretations of the bodies belonging to those systems. Although enshrined in the declarations, treaties and conventions of these systems, private property rights enjoy an extremely precarious and limited membership. Their constant subordination to other rights -such as economic, social and cultural rights- and concepts -social function, social justice, democratic society, etc.- leaves them largely subject to the discretion of the State, which ends up undermining their possibility of being classified as human rights in the light of international law.
