direitos humanos, terceiro mundo, ONU, colonizaçãoAbstract
The article argues that the Tehran Conference was a milestone in the anti-colonial discursive practice of human rights constructed by third world diplomats. Based on documentary research and post-colonial literature, the article highlights the ambivalences of the conference, with new frameworks for human rights and the involvement of authoritarian regimes. Criticisms against colonization and racism emerged through the language of human rights, as well as the agenda of development.
