Abstract
Aunque existen diferentes teorías de los derechos humanos, es posible señalar una serie de rasgos presentes en todas y cada una de ellas y que sirven para hablar de una teoría estándar de los derechos. En este trabajo describo dos tipos de retos diferentes que se plantean a esta teoría estándar de los derechos. Uno de ellos se mueve hacia el interior de la teoría y cuestiona algunos de sus rasgos. En este punto me referiré a las cuestiones del garante, de la tensión libertad-seguridad y de la universalidad. El otro gran reto cuestiona la validez de los derechos humanos como guía para el tratamiento de ciertos problemas. En este punto me referiré a los movimientos de personas y a las nuevas tecnologías. Ambos desafíos, que son una nueva muestra del carácter histórico que poseen los derechos humanos, obligan al discurso de los derechos a reaccionar e intentar resolverlos, aunque sea modificando alguno de los referentes que lo han caracterizado.
Although there are different theories of human rights, it is possible to point out a series of features present in each and every one of them and that serve to speak of a standard theory of rights. In this paper I describe two different types of challenges that arise to this standard theory of rights. One of them moves into the interior of the theory and questions some of its features. At this point I will refer to the issues of the guarantor, of the freedom-security tension and of universality. The other great challenge questions the validity of human rights as a guide for the treatment of certain problems. At this point I will refer to the movements of people and new technologies. Both challenges, which are a sign of the historical character of human rights, force the discourse of rights to react and try to resolve them, even modifying some of the references that have characterized it.
