The Evolution of Human Rights from the International Relations Point of View
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this article is putting into evidence the political evolution of Human Rights and thus understanding its importance in the contemporary international relations, given that the Human Rights has become the main instrument for political legitimacy in the West. This is made from three levels of analysis that were stated by Kenneth Waltz (1959): the individual, the state and the international levels. In this manner, it is held that the display of Human Rights in an international level has been a product of war and post-war processes that ended up setting the humanization of war and the normative framework for the protection of rights.
