This paper attempts to explore briefly the history of the human rights movement in Latin America and the validity of the dominant European approach on human rights in the region. In light of this discussion, the paper looks at the problems of diversity and human rights in Latin America—universal rights and specific rights, equality and inequality before the law, especially in the case of indigenous rights and children's rights.
The relationship between democracy, poverty and human rights is also examined in this article, as well as the current process of globalization and its impact on human rights in Latin America.
