Regarding the attempt to establish human rights

Abstract

This article pursues the recount of ethic's search for the fundament of Human Rights in its effort to contribute with the overcoming of the problem present by the pretended universality of such rights in a World characterized by multiculturalism. In this context, some attempts for explaining the human rights foundations are presented; along with the discussion arisen about the universalist and pluralist-relativist positions. There is also an elaboration on the fundaments and conceptions of human right and some hints about the debate between the iusnaturalist and the iuspositivist proposals.
