CAMPOS, Fernando. The CPLP and human dignity, in Human Rights time. População e Sociedade [online]. 2020, n.34, pp.53-61.  Epub Dec 01, 2021. ISSN 0873-1861.

Concern for human rights gained greater strength in the International Community since the end of World War II, with the creation of the United Nations and the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. The promotion of human dignity became part of the vocabulary of the International Organizations, which were created, including the CPLP - Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries.

There have been many human rights violations committed by both country leaders and ordinary citizens. The CPLP, in addition to the promotion and dissemination of the Portuguese language, also has the mission of encouraging its members to respect human rights, in order to value human dignity.

The 21st century must be the century of the struggle against human "discarding" and recognition that we are all important because we are human, regardless of differences.

Keywords : Human Rights human dignity CPLP promotion to be human.
