DESCRIPTION:Since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed
  in 1948\, special priority was given to publicise the Declaration through
  education\, “principally in schools and other educational institutions
 ” (United Nations\, 1948). Over the last 63 years\, the interest about t
 eaching and learning processes in human rights amongst Governments\, Inter
 national Agencies\, local NGO’s\, schools and education stakeholders has
  grown\; as a consequence\, several educational models for human rights ha
 ve been developed.  \nDespite the pedagogical or practical discrepancies a
 mongst them\, each model relies on a particular theoretical approach to hu
 man rights. The aim of this research is to explore the different theoretic
 al approaches to human rights\, their philosophical foundations and their 
 possible consequences for human rights education. The Objectivists\, Contr
 actualist\, and Consequentialists theories\, with representative authors o
 f each one\, and the influence they have in human rights education are clo
 sely discussed in this research.\n
