Abstract

The traditional conception of human rights is rooted in assumptions can not carry with the crisis of meaning which crosses the worldly relations, especially in the international arena with regard to stateless persons and refugees. Among these assumptions, we highlight in this article the idea of "nationality" and the pretention "universal" of human rights as iconic representations of the exhaustion of this traditional understanding. In the second part of the article, the perception interculturalist developed as an alternative to the traditional model, adverse terms of "pure identity", that fiction gives way to nationality. The new perspective has as its starting point there cognition of difference and not the standards of equality as a premise to rethink human rights.
