Natural Law Theory in Spain and Portugal
Journal Title: The Age of Human Rights Journal - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This article intends to approach briefly the development of Natural Law theories in the Iberian peninsula, focusing in more detail on their evolution and tendencies in the 20th and 21st centuries when they are at a crossroad. Due to this succinctness, the approach will be fundamentally descriptive, however it will try to consider the wide and heterogeneous character of such theories as well as their implications for the doctrine of human rights.
