Abstract

This article discusses the right to have rights, understood as the formulation of a legal personality from which legal rights are attributed to individuals. Based on a qualitative bibliographical research, the problem developed in this research consists of expanding this concept beyond its political-legal diagnosis, understanding the idea of disposability resulting from its destitution by totalitarian regimes as a consequence of the change in moral perception about humanity. The hypothesis to be analyzed is that the right to have rights can be interpreted as a theory of human dignity to the extent that, to be effective, it depends on a morality that allows mutual recognition between individuals and that perceive the body as a limit that must be respected.
