Les droits tournes vers l'homme
Xavier Dijon - Collection Humanités
Résumé
--
Throughout modern history, human rights have evolved dramatically. This is expressed in legal doctrine as different 'generations' of human rights. The West highlights the first of those generations, the so-called civic and political rights while eastern countries put the accent on economic, social and cultural rights, and the newly decolonized nations claim a third generation of 'solidarity' rights: self-determination, development, peace... But this multiplicity of references is a constant threat to human rights' claim to be universal hence the increasing insistence today on their essential indivisibility. This book investigates the nature of the link between their proclaimed indivisibility and their desired universality. What do we find in the man who claims that his rights - his human rights-apply to all humans? In order to reach all humans, is it necessary to unite them? How can we define a humanity that is common to all? The author tries to answer these questions by restructuring human rights around the word 'human' in the title. We must proceed as with Matryoshka dolls, opening one after the other until we arrive at the Unique one on which a notion of the Universal can be based. The outer layers are nature, good, work, the nation, reason and transcendence. Special attention is paid to spiritual options which explain, at each stage, investment in one particular dimension of the human being and the necessity ultimately to go beyond that dimension, so that Human rights may be respected in their entirety.
