To analyze the processes of human social organization based on the question of fundamentally established and socially accepted fundamental rights in a large part of the planet and disseminated through legal texts as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, for example, is an enterprise that goes beyond the human need for a basic structure for coexistence in society, entering into various debates on the ethical-political values involved in the human condition and to which depend his dignity. The philosophy of law, especially Ricoeur’s perspective, serves here as the north for the attempt to think human rights by the philosophical bias, in which the fundamental rights and duties are constituent and constituted by the historical individuals involved in them, who, in their capacity to act and suffer, go before their definition as a person with human rights. Therefore, in addition to discussing human rights and the principles of universalism and relativism, we study the specific contributions of Ricoeur in the reflection on the ontological and narrative foundations of human rights and the constitution of the person with human rights in that context. After exposing the issue of human rights to the ethical and political debate surrounding the theory and doctrine that constitutes the theme, we understand that the contributions of Ricoeur's philosophy surpasses the theoretical debate, constituting itself as a possible way to rethink the human rights issue.
