          Abstract

          Abstract: The most well-known historical perspective regarding the preparation of the universal system of human rights established after the Second World War by the United Nations only focuses on the work by European lawyers and disregards the important contribution of Latin America. The purpose of this work is to identify the interaction and contribution made by the American Continent regarding the current universal system of human rights. One of the triggering factors was the independence of America, which influenced the regional development of doctrines and principles of the international law. A second stage is the spreading of the international Latin American Law which began with The Hague Peace Conference, which, for the first time, allowed the participation of publicists from non-European countries to participate in the creation of binding rules of international law. Finally, we mention the work by the American Institute of International Law, co-founded by Chilean Alejandro Álvarez, whose publications directly influenced the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man, which in turn was used as a source for the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

          Translated abstract

          Resumen: La historia más conocida sobre la creación del sistema universal de derechos humanos establecido después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial por Naciones Unidas, pone énfasis únicamente a las obras de juristas provenientes de Europa, omitiendo el contundente aporte de Latinoamérica. Este trabajo pretende visibilizar la interacción y contribución del continente americano en la consolidación del sistema universal de derechos humanos vigente. La independencia de América se identifica como uno de los factores gatillantes, favoreciendo el desarrollo regional de doctrinas y principios de derecho internacional. Una segunda etapa está conformada por la diseminación del derecho internacional Latinoamericano, que se inicia en las Conferencias de Paz de La Haya, las que por primera vez brindaron tribuna a publicistas provenientes de países no europeos, para intervenir en la gestación de normas vinculantes de derecho internacional. Finalmente se hace mención al trabajo del Instituto Americano de Derecho Internacional, cofundado por el chileno Alejandro Álvarez, cuyas publicaciones influyeron concretamente en la Declaración Americana sobre los Derechos y Deberes del Hombre, la que a su vez sirvió de fuente para la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas.
