The universal human rights discourse, built on the liberal-individualist paradigm of modernity, has limitations as regards both the recognition and the positive conception of humanity of historically belittled groups, which are subject to prejudice, discrimination and exclusion. This paper aims to point out the interculturalism perspective as a possibility for the formation of a human rights view based on the social and historical reality of Latin America. This reality is characterized by the plurality of cultures, but certain individuals and groups (blacks, the indigenous, women, homosexuals) have been despised. To deal with such concern, a bibliographic analysis of the ideological bases of the Western dominant discourses of human rights will be done, thus exposing the inadequacies of multiculturalism and proposing interculturality. The conclusive results show that interculturalism is the most appropriate way out for the realization of human rights in Latin America, since it covers the plural realities present in the region and faces the hierarchy-based logic imposed by the modern/colonial project, an element that is not faced by multiculturalism.
