Resumen de Education, universality and humanism: The human person and the mission of international tribunals
Antonio Augusto Cançado Trindade
This contribution insists on the central role of humanities –encompassing literature, philosophy, history, law, language and education– within the Universitas. Cultural legacy, within the framework of universalism, will never be replaced by the simple preparation for professional exercise. University teaching is to remain attentive to education, surrounded by human values. For this, the author emphasizes that the effectiveness of the right to education is of fundamental importance, in the light of the basic principle of equality and non-discrimination.
