Abstract

In a post-national scenario of transformations and the emergence of new challenges for humanity, human rights retain the potential to serve as a basis for a process in which, through their resignification from a plural and multicultural perspective, they are able to give greater legitimacy to governance structures at all levels. The work seeks, based on the review of the Kantian cosmopolitan project and its contemporary renovation by Jürgen Habermas, to review what form a cosmopolitan institutionality should take and what role human rights play in that project. To complement this approach, the revision of the proposal of Boaventura de Sousa Santos in relation to subaltern cosmopolitanism and the importance of developing a legal practice open to the understanding of human rights from a pluralistic and multicultural perspective is contemplated.
