LA CONCEPCIÓN TETRADIMENSIONAL DEL DERECHO, COMO PROPUESTA EPISTEMOLÓGICA PARA LA GARANTÍA DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS

The conception of the law has a decisive influence on the guarantee of human rights. The three-dimensional theory of law has coupled norm, fact and value to express that law cannot be understood in a monolithic or one-dimensional manner; based on this theory, human rights are not materialized in people’s daily lives, since current theory lacks the political element. Thus, it is necessary to build a four-dimensional theory that includes law as policy, specifically, as public policies for the effective guarantee of human rights. The objective of the present work is to exhibit the relevance of the four-dimensional vision of law for the identification of politics in the search for mechanisms in favor of the guarantee of human rights.
