Abstract
Even today concepts that should have been overcome are

1. INTRODUCTION
Liberal thought has laid the foundation for the emergence of the rule of law that,
although it is continually shaped, stands on the pillars of the legal-dogmatic construc-
tions around the world. Thus, we usually debate and deepen ourselves in some classic
notions such as the belonging of individuals to a State and the law as a commandment
targeting the general interest of a national community.
However, in present time we live the deep transformations from the process of
globalization. One must observe that, just to point some of these changes, the human
needs have manifested themselves in the global level, not anymore in the national
grounds. This way, non State actors have emerged with great strength in the worldwide
stage. And, in parallel with the national cultures, cosmopolite ones appeared. Also, the
constant migrations are putting themselves against the ancient adoption of a nationa-
lity, the idea of remaining in a single country.
As an eect, State-Nation is challenged in its hegemony when having to con-
ceive citizenship in its broader aspect, not only as a bond of political delity, as it was
in its origin. This way, it is imagined a new form of State that incorporates the common
values of all the subjects of a global community and promotes the defense of human
rights with the support of the dignity of the human being.
Following this line of thought, this article attempts to discover some of the
bonds between citizenship and human rights, having as premise the scope of human
dignity, as since the ascension of human rights in modern juridical debates all over the
world, having as consensus that the human dignity is the most important vector in the
international human rights law. This means that the hu-
man needs began to be manifested regionally and inter-
nationally, in order to achieve the principle of the dignity
of the human being. Thus, this article intends to investigate
the link between citizenship and human rights, from new
perspectives, through literature studies and deductive me-
thod, in order to answer the following questions: what are
the added values to the concept of citizenship? And what is
the current dimensions of citizenship?
Keywords: dignity of human person; eectiveness; citi-
zenship; human rights; challenges of globalization.

isso, quer-se dizer que as necessidades humanas passaram
a ser manifestadas regional e internacionalmente, com
vistas à concretização do princípio da dignidade da pes-
soa humana. Assim, este artigo pretende investigar o elo
entre a cidadania e os direitos humanos, a partir de novas
perspectivas, por meio de estudo bibliográco e método
dedutivo, a m de responder os seguintes questionamen-
tos: quais os valores agregados ao conceito de cidadania?
E qual a atual dimensão da cidadania?
