Los derechos humanos: naturaleza, denominación y características

The main idea the author conveys in this paper is considering dignity of the person as the basis of human rights which is above of positive considerations and because of it no one can legitimately impede to others from enjoyment of their rights. This idea is strengthened with two notions carefully made by the author. On the one hand, the human dignity, which is what singles out the person from other living beings due to their reason, will, freedom, equality and historicity, and by the other hand, the human rights which are a whole of attributions recognized by legal instruments to enforce the idea of dignity of all persons, allowing a human existence from various interrelated fields, such as the individual, social, political, economic and cultural.
