Draft Charter of Emerging Human Rights

We are entitled more rights than we thought. The Charter of Emerging Human Rights arises 

from the global civil society in the beginning of the 21st century with the aim to contribute to 

the design of a new horizon of rights that will orient the social and cultural movements of 

collectivities and peoples, and that will at the same time be inscribed in the contemporary 

societies, the institutions, the public policies and the agendas of leaders from a new relationship 

between the global civil society and the authorities.

Human rights are the foundation of societies. The globalised society speaks out in defence of the 

effective guarantee of rights, assuring all of freedom and the conditions for a happy life.
