Human Rights Based Approach in International Cooperation. A critical view from Latin America

Abstract

This article highlights some interpretative arguments to understand a Human Rights Based Approach in International Cooperation. It begins with a general framework in relation to the linkage of rights and political cooperation, exposing some problems of the cooperation movement to draft an outcome from a sole perspective of the law, as well as challenges and interpretations. There are some conflicts taken care of at the institutional level of cooperation, which raises some issues of conventional laws adapting in more traditional cultural realities. Finally, it shows the conflictive
nature of human rights in of itself and the need to understand the intercultural dimensions.
