• Resumen

  • The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a cultural milestone under a certain conception of culture that has to do with rationality. The UDHR means the proposal of a normative code of universal validity, so it can be considered as an historical achievement related to an idea of culture linked, in turn, to the notions of reason and progress. In this sense, it is where a scientific perspective can be integrated, for example, in the design of sociological tools aimed at evaluating the effectiveness, mainly, in order to understood the social, economic, cultural and material conditions that make this social, juridical an political efficacy possible.
