As Contribuições da Encíclica Rerum Novarum para o Reconhecimento dos Direitos Fundamentais nos Artigos 1 e 23 da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that, although the Rerum Novarum Encyclical originates from another century, its influence can still be observed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a legal framework that protects individuals throughout their development, supported by one of the oldest theories in history—the theory of fundamental rights. The research is theoretical, applied, and descriptive, following the guidelines of a qualitative approach.
