Decoloniality and (alternative) rights narratives. Human Rights

This is a reflection on human rights from a decolonial perspective. We start from the decolonial perspective of knowledge as an epistemological turn away from the idea that we are Europe's intellectual and cultural colony. Based on this we analyze the historical construction of Modernity which began with the invasion of European peoples on the American continent and is marked by the colonialities of power knowledge and being resulting in the concealment of diversity throughout Modernity. With this it is possible to demonstrate the influences of colonialities in the production of International Law more specifically in what we call Human Rights; launching some reflections on the concept of Human Rights in order to evaluate the influence of the power structure and knowledge structure established in the modern/colonial world-system on Human Rights. Finally intercultural dialog is proposed through diatopic hermeneutics as an alternative to the hegemonic discourse of Human Rights.
