Human Rights and the Supreme Value of Peace as a Presupposition of Democratic Recognition. A Reflection for Peace in Post-conflict
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the framework of the western political traditions, rights have represented a legitimacy discourse for democratic systems. Its political and institutional absorption has allowed the perception of democratic practices from a discursive correspondence that contemplates the legal and normative guarantees as resources for the reassurance of human dignity in society. Thus, this article analyzes some reflections around expressions of rights framed in a historical reconstruction of Human Rights and its political function as the foundation of international political relations, as well as the role of peace, understood as a supreme democratic value. All this will allow, in a first moment, a pathway for the most important historical moments in the shaping of Human Rights as a political discourse by pointing its historical heritage in the liberal democratic tradition and the philosophical, social and normative tensions that it implies in order to, in a second moment, highlight which are the political presumptions in its defense from the particular contingencies of a post-conflictual Colombia.
