Abstract: This article examines the implications of defining comprehensive sex education as a human right, based on the constitutional and treaty standards in force in Argentina. To this end, a discourse analysis is carried out on the empirical material under consideration (jurisprudence, constitutional and treaty provisions, legislation, decrees and resolutions) in order to reconstruct the scope of comprehensive sex education as a human right. Then, existing arguments from the human rights approach are distinguished. In this sense, both conceptual definitions of group incidence rights and international standards on the subject are taken into account, in particular the Inter-American system for the protection of human rights and —within it— the action of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, to elucidate the effects of international law on local law. Conclusions. Comprehensive sex education has given rise both to a State policy and to one of the most innovative reforms in Argentine education. It constitutes a human right that is based on a strong constitutional, conventional and legislative framework.
