These are the main challenges to be faced by Law and, above all, by human rights at this beginning of century. It is due to this reality and to the challenges resulted from it that we believe in the prevalence of reason of humanity over the reason of State. If there is a universal crisis, it is not only one of the State or its values, but a crisis of the human being himself.
