INTRODUCTION

Human rights has its history began in about 539 BC, when King Cyrus of Persia, freed the slaves, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and established racial equality. These and other decrees were recorded on a clay cylinder in the Arcadian tongue with cuneiform.

Known today as the Cyrus Cylinder, this ancient record is known as the first charter of human rights in the world, and its stipulations similar to the first four articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

When Human Rights arrived in Rome, won the concept of Natural Law, the observation of the fact that people tended to follow certain unwritten laws in the course of life.

If there is a need to affirm the individual rights under the Natural Laws were created documents such as the Magna Carta (1215), the Petition of Right (1628), the US Constitution (1787), the French Declaration of Human Rights and Citizen (1789), and the Declaration of Rights of the United States (1791) are the written precursors to many of today's human rights documents.

On October 24, 1945, in the aftermath of the Second World War there was the need to create the United Nations as an intergovernmental organization with the purpose of saving future generations from the devastation of international conflict.

Today, we have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, created by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, which is a living document that has been accepted as a contract between a government and its people throughout the world with In order to address economic issues, social and protect human rights of man in the world.

With regard to human rights in the Americas, it all started with the creation of the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, which comes exactly in the post 2nd World War, during which human rights began to emerge, especially in the West, in the face of atrocities during the war. Importantly, the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man was written even before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations (UN).

After eleven years of drafting the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man comes in 1959 the OAS (Organization of American States) which is the UN Regional Office in America, formed by countries in the Americas.

In a specialized Conference on Human Rights with members of the OAS was created by the American Convention on Human Rights, also known as the Pact of San José, Costa Rica, on November 22, 1969 in the city of San Jose, capital of Costa Rica. However such as Covenant only came into force on July 18, 1978, and only members of the OAS may be part of it.
