La pirámide del derecho global (original) (raw)

Following the traditional example of the so-called Kelsen pyramid, the author proposes a new kind of legal pyramid, integrating the incipient concept of global law, which has superseded international law. At the top rests the human person, from which all law ultimately arises (ius ex persona oritur). The base of the pyramid, heptagonal in shape, would be made of that same humanity, organized as a function of an “anthroparchy.” The pyramid’s seven faces correspond to the seven shaping principles of law: justice, rationality, coercion, universality, solidarity, subsidiarity, and horizontality. The three-dimensionality of the legal pyramid, a polyhedron, is reflected in the law’s individual, social, and universal dimensions. The last of these corresponds to global law.
