Resumo: | Human rights have undergone a process of growing international positivism throughout the twentieth century, through international treaties, in search of the guarantee of human dignity. However, some States deny the alleged universality of these rights, on the grounds that it is a Western view of human rights, which does not respect the plurality of conceptions of dignified life. The objective of this work was to demonstrate how John Finnis’s theory responds to this question, based on his theory of Natural Law, which has as its thesis the existence of a law whose normativity is independent of political authority or the establishment of a positive law. The question that was intended to be answered was: considering that the definition of a decent life depends on concrete aspects, how can one philosophically base human rights in universal terms? It is a research with a qualitative approach, which used bibliographical and documentary research. As a main result, it was concluded that Finnis’ theory brings substantial elements to understand human rights as the basic rights needed, so that every human being can live with dignity. |

Os direitos humanos passaram por um processo de crescente positivação internacional ao longo do século XX, por meio de tratados internacionais, em busca da garantia da dignidade humana. Todavia, alguns Estados negam a pretensa universalidade destes direitos, sob a alegação de que se trata de uma visão ocidental de direitos humanos, que não respeita a pluralidade de concepções de vida digna. O objetivo deste trabalho foi demonstrar como a teoria de John Finnis responde a este questionamento, a partir de sua teoria de Lei Natural, que tem como tese a existência de uma lei cuja normatividade independe de autoridade política ou do estabelecimento de uma lei positiva. A questão que se pretendeu responder foi: considerando que a definição de vida digna depende de aspectos concretos, como é possível fundamentar filosoficamente os direitos humanos em termos universais? Trata-se de pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, que se utilizou de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Como principal resultado, concluiu-se que a teoria de Finnis traz elementos substancias para compreender os direitos humanos como os direitos básicos necessários, para que todo ser humano possa viver com dignidade.
