Abstract

Nowadays the Fundamental Human Rights are the core of the legal systems and democratic constitutions, as well as the legal, political and social discourse used in the resolution of national or international conflicts. The human person is a value that must be protected by the internal legal ordering of Stated, furthermore, it is a value the deserves special legal protection on the international scale. Thus, this article is the result of documental and bibliographical research in which the historical-dialectical model is applied for stating that there is no difference between the expressions 'human rights and 'fundamental rights'. Distinguishing these two categories is useless for expressing the circumscription of the territorial space and unjustifiable in the context of a globalized world and the perspective of plural constitutionalism.
