FRIAS Project
Genealogy of Subject of Law in the International Law of Human Rights
The main goal of this research is to develop a “Genealogy of the Subject of Law in the International Law of Human Rights (ILHR)”. To realize this aim we will study three historical events. These events were selected because – as stated by Hans Joas – they form a ‘triangle’ that is the support for the value of human dignity. Joas ‘triangle’ are supported by: 1) a narrative; 2) day by day practice and 3) institutions. Dreyfus affair is a historical event that was transformed into a narrative itself. It is important to observe that was in 1898 – during the debates of the case- that Durkheim created the expression “Sacredness of the person”. The narrative offers an argument that ground the human dignity´s value. An innovative practice of human rights education illustrate how the respect of the human dignity can be transformed into a day by day practice. The preparatory works for the elaboration of the ICRRPD(2006) has a significant participation of people with disabilities.This legal instrument emphasizes that what must be transformed to guarantee rights to the persons, with concrete obstacles to exercise them, is the conditions of the society not of these people. To enable this transformation the ICRPD provides legal means that give to the persons with disabilities conditions to exercise their rights. After the analysis of these cases, we will suggest possible elements for a deeper understanding of the concept of subject of law in the field of International Law of Human Rights.
