| description | Beyond the debate on positive law referred to whether social rights have received international status of genuine rights, exists a philosophically debate that asks about their moral justification. Are there any human rights of moral nature –that may coincide or not with the recognized by positive law –whose contents are social or economic demands? Although the questions about the moral status and legal status are different, which is answered in the first case may have impact on how we think the international legal system should be designed. Arguing for the existence of moral rights with social content may be one reason–although not a definitive– to justify their fixing in positive rules. This article addresses only the problem philosophic ally, leaving aside the debate centered on the positive law. The objective is to offer the main guidelines of a moral justification of human rights. Such a justification not only allows giving information of some peculiar features of human rights, but it makes it possible to understand that the same moral reasons that underlie the civil and political rights apply to social rights. The matter has two parts. The first aims to develop the proposed justification. Once exposed the justification of human rights, the second part aims to show that it serves to sustain not only civil and political rights, but also social human rights. |

Más allá del debate de derecho positivo referido a si los derechos sociales han recibido en la normativa internacional el estatus de genuinos derechos, existe un debate filosófico-político que se pregunta por su justificación moral. ¿Existen derechos humanos de índole moral –que pueden coincidir o no con los reconocidos por el derecho positivo– cuyo contenido sean exigenciassociales o económicas? Aunque las preguntas por el estatus moral y el estatus jurídico son diferentes, lo que se responda en el primer caso puede tener incidencia sobre cómo pensamos que debería diseñarse el sistema jurídico internacional. Argumentar a favor de la existencia de derechos morales humanos con contenido social puede ser una razón –aunque no una definitiva– para justificar su positivización. Este artículo se ocupa solamente del problema filosófico-político, dejando de lado el debate centrado en el derecho positivo. El objetivo es ofrecer los principales lineamientos de una justificación moral de los derechos humanos. Dicha justificación permite no solo dar cuenta de algunos rasgos peculiares de los derechos humanos, sino que posibilita comprender que las mismas razones morales que subyacen a los derechos civiles y políticos se aplican a los derechos sociales. El argumento posee dos partes. La primera tiene por objetivo elaborar la justificación propuesta. Una vez expuesta la justificación de los derechos humanos, la segunda parte del argumento tiene por objetivo mostrar que la misma sirve para dar sustento no solo a los derechos humanos civiles y políticos, sino también a los derechos humanos sociales.
