Human rights against collective and organized violence: observed by Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory

Abstract

Desde o início da sua teoria da diferenciação social Niklas Luhmann esteve ocupado com o que hoje se chama a questão dos direitos humanos. A violência é um tema que, não menos importante, parece menos visível nos seus escritos.

Niklas Luhmann, from the very beginning of his theory of societal differentiation, was concerned about what today is called the human rights question. Violence is a topic maybe not less prevalent but less visible in his writings.
