The idea of human rights has long been part of the political and social landscape in the Americas. The language of human rights has featured in the Americas since the sixteenth century, from the Thomist and Aristotelian accounts of the nature and origins of natural law, to the heated Salamanca and Valladolid debates over the rights of non-European peoples and the status of American Indians under natural law, to the “natural” rights invoked by European powers to legitimate their overseas empires.
