Abstract
De Legibus (1612) by the Spanish thinker Francisco Suarez (1548-1617), among other important aspects, maintain the status of a founding work on modern international rights, specially those texts on Peoples´s Rights . The author was a participant of the catholic reaction against the Reformers’ doctrines and practice. His writings on law rights and justice had a worldwide influence. For Suarez, the relationships between the states are regulated by Jus Gentium , a doctrine he developed based on another Spanish political thinker, Francisco Vitoria (1492-1546). For Suarez, though arbitration be necessary, no state has the right to impose its laws on the others. Thus the rule, as an expression of the community, assumes as relevant role in law science since then. Many current international rights issues were discussed in his work.
