Abstract

The article examines the universal formulation of human rights, of Hegelian/Marxistorigin, and constrasts it to the much more limited Liberal understanding. It arguesthat, in the same way that the socialist movement was decisive for the expansion ofthe Liberal conception and practice, the weakening of this influence can result in anew contraction of human rights that will cease to refer to the property-less massesand entire population of the so-called Third World.
