The reached-by-consensus Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a justification with the condition of an agreement of wills. The present article, from an iusnaturalist perspective, exposes an objective foundation that accepts the existence of things proper to Man, rights or iura that correspond to him for the mere fact of being person. These rights exist in a human nature, understood as an intrinsic, unfinished, and on-trend principle; a generic determination that allows to understand its compatibility with the freedom and the incessant change of historical occurrences. The root of these rights is located in a series of duties that must be fulfilled and at the same time, they are founded in the must-be good of that which is good or —from a different perspective— in the truth that such reality is good.
