The General Declaration on Human Rights (Narodne Novine, 12/2009) is the legal basis for regulating issues on the protection of human rights and the basis for defining them. The protection of human rights in the European Union contributed to the development of the social work profession and thus strengthened the mutual complementarity of law and social work. The most important international document for solving the problem of human rights violations is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but an equally important document is the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Narodne Novine, 13/2017), so in view of the above, we can clearly to see how legislation in member states can work. Public opinion when we mention abortion and euthanasia is divided and causes debates regarding the treatment. The role of the social worker is important when, in direct work with the user, the social worker encounters the aforementioned problems and must act immediately. Social workers together with health professionals have the opportunity to promote health literacy as well as spread awareness about the importance of reproductive health. The right to life often runs through the issue of abortion and euthanasia, it includes moral dilemmas as well as the legal regulation of the same. The role of European legislation was to regulate the issue of abortion and euthanasia, but also to enable member states to introduce rules in their legislation that will apply to their population. Induced abortion is one of the frequent cases of the European Court of Human Rights, so based on these examples, we can see different forms of legal regulations, but also deviations from them. If fundamental human rights are violated in one of the member states of the European Union, then the main role is played by the European Court of Human Rights, from whose practice we see the proceedings in certain cases - in this case, when it comes to the proceedings in the cases of induced abortion and euthanasia.
