This article provides the framework relating to the use of the legal concept of vulnerability in the EU and CoE regulations, and in the Court of Justice of the EU and European Court of Human Rights case law. The use of the comparative method will allow to grasp the similarities and differences at both the regulatory and jurisprudential levels, helping to identify the different kinds of vulnerabilities more effectively. The comparative findings will further show that a new vulnerability approach may prove tobe the trump card to rethink the functionof Law not only in regulating the relations between human beings, but also those between human beings and the rest of the ecosystem.

Abstract
This article provides the framework relating to the use of the legal concept of vulnerability in the EU and CoE regulations, and in the Court of Justice of the EU and European Court of Human Rights case law. The use of the comparative method will allow to grasp the similarities and differences at both the regulatory and jurisprudential levels, helping to identify the different kinds of vulnerabilities more effectively. The comparative findings will further show that a new vulnerability approach may prove tobe the trump card to rethink the functionof Law not only in regulating the relations between human beings, but also those between human beings and the rest of the ecosystem.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
