La tesis principal de este trabajo es argumentar que los principios pensados por Bartolomé de las Casas que le sirvieron para defender los aborígenes de América de los actos de los españoles, parten del concepto filosófico de hombre y de los argumentos sustraídos, principalmente de la tradición aristotélica, las teorías de Tomas de Aquino, Francisco de Vitoria, del cristianismo y de su experiencia como clérigo y encomendero en las tierras americanas. Por otra parte, sustentar que aun su pensamiento le aporta a la reflexión actual de los derechos humanos y a la construcción y consolidación de los Estados democráticos contemporáneos.

AbstractTolerance is often considered a modern social development. However, a robust, if distinctly unmodern, concept of tolerance can be found in the work of Thomas Aquinas. The object of tolerance is a perceived evil which is endured for the sake of averting a greater evil. The paper explores how the concept of tolerance which Bartolomé de las Casas and Francisco de Vitoria inherited from Thomas Aquinas was deployed and stretched in response to the Amerindian cult of human sacrifice. Both Spanish Dominicans concur in regarding human sacrifice as an evil act, but they base their judgment on different principles. Las Casas interprets human sacrifice as a question of religion. Vitoria considers it a question of temperance. The result is that Las Casas counsels toleration of the practice, whereas Vitoria justifies military intervention on behalf of the innocent.

Insight Into

Domingo de Salazar (c.1512–1594) was the first bishop of the Philippines, a member of the Dominican order, and a follower of noted critics of the Spanish imperial enterprise like the jurist Francisco de Vitoria and the historian/activist Bartolomé de las Casas. In this letter to King Philip II, Salazar denounces the abuses of the indigenous population and the mistreatment of Chinese migrants by the Spanish colonists, and calls upon the crown to intervene in the colony’s affairs. In so doing, he provides invaluable insight into the work of colonization, and the complex relationship that the Spanish Philippines developed with China and with the burgeoning Chinese population of the islands themselves. Christina Lee provides biographical and historical context.

This article critically reviews the claim that the Spanish jurist-theologians Francisco de Vítoria and Bartolomé de las Casas, and their successors, were pioneers of human rights theory and of the law relating to the rights of indigenous peoples. The article seeks to clarify the literature relating to these claims by dividing it into various categories and analysing each in turn. A principal aim of the article is to convey the sheer diversity and scale of the various competing historiographies and the extent to which they stand in contrast to each other. By way of conclusion, there is a discussion of those parts of the debate which are of greatest relevance and resonance for a jurisdiction such as New Zealand, where questions about the origins and nature of indigenous rights law are not merely a matter of theoretical interest, but also of great practical relevance.

Os Estados português e espanhol do séc. XVI eram fervorosamente católicos, de modo que refletiam o caráter histórico da Igreja de então, expressando a catolicidade em seu sentido original, o qual tem como bases a universalidade e o elemento pentecostal daquela crença. Este último traduz-se na necessidade de pregação da palavra católica aos quatro cantos do mundo, promovendo a salvação das almas. Numa conexão, por vezes simbiótica e noutras antagônica, entre tais fatores religiosos e os objetivos imperialistas destas nações, o fato inegável é que surge um fértil desenvolvimento teórico acerca da natureza do ser indígena, questionando-o como sujeito de direitos ou não. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente artigo é demonstrar o debate surgido, no século XVI, a partir de tal conjuntura, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica dos principais pensadores da época, quais sejam: Antonio de Montesinos, Francisco de Vitória, Bartolomé de Las Casas e Juan Ginés Sepúlveda. Os resultados demonstram que a presente discussão promoveu um desenvolvimento sobre a noção dos direitos naturais, posteriormente retomada quando das revoluções burguesas dos séculos seguintes. Ademais, há uma ressonância óbvia desta contenda sobre a atualidade, transmitindo dos indígenas para os refugiados o questionamento sobre serem ou não sujeitos de direitos. Portanto, apesar de seu surgimento há mais de quatro séculos, a temática em questão possui uma necessidade de ser revisitada, o que se pretende realizar por meio do trabalho a seguir.

The paper strives to bring a historic perspective about the International Law treatment on Amerindians, from the «discovery», going through the renowned authors of the American colonial period, such as Francisco de Vitoria and Bartolomé de las Casas, to the present condition of the Amerindians in Brazil, within the Constitution (1988) and with the multilateral international efforts to regulate the subject, via the UN´s General Assembly or via the European Parliament.
