Descrição
Resumo:The article analyzes the contributions of critical theory of human rights proposed by Herrera Flores to study obstacles to the effectiveness of the Inter-American Human Rights System. After a presentation of the criticism that the author makes the traditional theory of human rights and of the basis of his critical theory, considerations are made about the formation of Inter-American Human Rights System, followed by the presentation of issues that show that elements of Herrera Flores theory, as attention turned to contextual elements inherent to human rights, actually favor the understanding of the obstacles that hinder the functioning of that system.
