Resumo: | In On Human Rights, James Griffin argues persuasively that human rights should be conceived as protections of personhood, that is, of the distinctive status of human beings as self-directing moral agents. Adopting a holistic interpretation of the author’s work, this article conducts a critical analysis of the central elements of Griffin’s account of human rights, including its methodology, objectives, and central concepts, as well as its attempt to ground human rights norms in basic human interests and practicalities. Lastly, the text considers the merits of Joseph Raz’s critique of Griffin, which claims that his proposal is inconsistent and incapable of accounting for most of the human rights traditionally recognized in international practice. I conclude, with Griffin, that his theory has enough resources at its disposal to offer a compelling answer to Raz’s objection. |

A partir de uma interpretação holística do pensamento do autor, e por meio de uma abordagem analítica, este artigo examina os principais elementos da teoria dos direitos humanos de Griffin, passando por sua metodologia e objetivos, conceitos centrais e fundamentação filosófico-normativa nas noções de interesses humanos básicos e praticidades. O texto considera, ainda, a crítica de Joseph Raz de que a proposta de Griffin seria inconsistente e incapaz de explicar boa parte dos direitos humanos tradicionalmente reconhecidos na prática internacional. Conclui-se que a teoria de Griffin tem recursos suficientes para oferecer uma resposta à altura da objeção levantada por Raz.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2022-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/85610Revista Direito GV; Vol. 18 No. 1 (2022): jan.-abr.
