Direitos humanos como trunfos e a proibição absoluta do uso de mecanismos de tortura pelo direito internacional

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine some definitions of human rigths, in order to show that Dworkin’s theory is the most suitable to argue the absolute prohibition of torture by international law. For that, it applies the theoretical and jurisprudential research as ethodological technique and the methodological procedure of content analysis.
