DE LOS REYES ARAGON, Wilson. Some elements for the construction of a definition of human rights. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.2, pp.159-196. ISSN 0124-0579.
This article seeks to demystify the foundations of rights. It looks at the search for some systemic differentiation. It emphasizes effectiveness, legitimacy, the importance of convention and of political participation as common elements of the different theoretical approaches to human rights. By analysing these elements it is possible to build the term "human rights" as a concept capable of being measured accurately by studying the effectiveness of legal rules as applied to human rights in specific contexts.
Palavras-chave : Human rights; effectiveness; legitimacy; rule of law; systemic differentiation.
