This research examines the contradictions within the hegemonic discourse of human rights, which, despite its universal claims, reproduces ethnic, gender, and colonial exclusions. The central issue lies in the tension between the abstract universality of human rights and their concrete application, marked by structural violence. As an alternative, the study explores the principle of fraternity, which proposes a non-violent legal framework based on mutual responsibility and cosmopolitanism. Methodologically, it combines critical theoretical analysis of fraternal law with decolonial studies and empirical cases, such as the Guarani struggles for land and Latin American feminisms. The findings indicate that hegemonic human rights perpetuate coloniality, fraternity offers an ecological and pluralistic legal model and social movements, by demanding rights as territorialized bodies, reinterpret law through marginalized epistemologies. The conclusion asserts that true emancipation requires decoupling human rights from the nation-state and adopting a fraternal and decolonial ethic.
