PIOVESAN, Flavia. Ações afirmativas da perspectiva dos direitos humanos. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2005, vol.35, n.124, pp.43-55. ISSN 0100-1574.

The article aims to develop an analysis on affirmative action from a human rights perspective. Initially, it deals with the contemporary conception of human rights, introduced by the Universal Declaration of 1948, stressing their universality, indivisibility, and interdependence. At a second stage, affirmative action is analyzed from a human rights perspective, stressing the values of egalitarianism and diversity. Finally, the perspectives and challenges to implement ethnic-racial egalitarianism in the contemporary order are assessed.

Palabras clave : Affirmative Action; Human Rights; Racial Discrimination; Equal Opportunities.
