Abstract
The performative dimension of defending human rights is analyzed as a fundamental element of such practices. The methodology consists of an anthropological literature review regarding human rights and an ethnographical study of an audience concerning indigenous rights before the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights. The main finding was that several performative expressions of the defense of human rights exist: the mobilizing of emotions, on behalf of the victims; the portrayal of professionalism, on behalf of the defendants; and the demonstration that the law, regardless of economic interests, is abided by the State.
