| Descripció: | This article examines the right to care as a meta-right that has achieved its own epistemological autonomy. This autonomy stems from legal developments that international human rights law attained by establishing valid principles and mechanisms to effectively protect the rights of highly vulnerable populations, including children, adolescents, pregnant women, and individuals with disabilities or catastrophic, highly complex diseases. Through a rights-based, individualized analysis of specific regimes, this study identified common patterns and principles that should be recognized as imperative norms of general international law (ius cogens) and, as such, be extended to all highly vulnerable individuals, given the global need to protect human dignity systematically and comprehensively. The study applied a qualitative, analytic-synthetic method within a hermeneutical framework grounded in the critical analysis of doctrinal, normative, and jurisprudential sources. |
