VELASQUEZ MONSALVE, Juan David. Natural law in the universal declaration of human rights. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2013, vol.43, n.119, pp.735-772. ISSN 0120-3886.

In this article we will deal on reflecting upon the philosophical legal foundations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, bearing in mind that such statement expresses with severity and depth the fundamental issues about Human Rights and also expresses with clarity that it is a matter of inherent rights of the human being. After reviewing the statement, the opinions and analysis of various philosophers of the 20th century, we can get to the conclusion that in the text remains the idea that certain rights have their support not on a rule imposed by the human being, but instead by the nature of itself. This is the reason why it is understood that we are all called to respect others rights and by which men have rights that are manifested as absolute and inviolable.
