The Relativity of Human Rights: Beyond Western Ethnocentrism

Authors

  • Gabriel Bello Reguera University of La Laguna Spain

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to approach human rights from the other side of universality: that of relativity, particularity and difference. At this point, everything that concerns these issues has given rise to an unfathomable bibliography, at least for me, unaccustomed to frequenting it. o What can someone like me, inexperienced in the academic complexity of human rights, add? o What is my intention in undertaking to write about them and more in a short text with an unusual subject matter? o What is my intention in undertaking to write about them and more in a short text with unusual subject matter? One, that human rights are affected by a radical relativity, and the other, to draw some consequences for their (supposed) universality.
