Evolución del derecho humano a la paz el marco de las Naciones Unidas y de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil

Abstract

The United Nations General Assembly, through Resolution 71/189 of 2016, recognized peace as a right that everyone should enjoy; however, its scope is reduced to the promotion and protection of human rights recognized in the two major covenants that enshrine civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights; and to the full scope of development. The Resolution does not elevate peace to the category of a human right, nor does it grant it the content of this type of right; therefore, it does not respond to the needs and challenges presented by current international law in dealing with international armed conflicts and structural and cultural violence. The objective of this article is to analyze the evolution of peace as a human right of solidarity within the framework of the United Nations Organization and the Organized Civil Society internationally. The documentary bibliographic methodology with critical analysis was used to define the categories of analysis related to peace as a human right. The main conclusion is that peace, more than a right, has been recognized from the perspective of an ideal that must be achieved and this is not enough, peace needs to be constituted as a human right that can be protected individually and collectively, so that it can serve as a legal tool both as a precautionary and judicial tool.
