ORDUNA TRUJILLO, Eva Leticia. Derechos humanos y credibilidad política. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2006, vol.39, n.116, pp.481-499. ISSN 2448-4873.
The present article seeks to show that, on the one hand, the levels of credibility that a government obtains from its citizens, is an essential element to achieve social cohesion and strength of the State. On the other hand, the author argues that such credibility can only be obtained whenever the government implements an integral and coherent policy of protection to the human rights. Firstly, the author refers to the credibility crisis that is being experienced in most parts ofthe world in the relationship society-government. Secondly, the author shows how intellectual currents as different as natural law and positivism, coincide in that the acceptance and trust ofindividuals in their governments, are necessary for the legitimacy of political power.
