Abstract

The purpose of this article is to characterize the historical assertion of the category sustainable development in the international documents legitimized by the United Nations. Points to a refinement in the notion of development, which projects it beyond merely economic development. The same refinement occurred with the concept of environmental preservation. The perspective of sustainability has allowed an expanded perception of the complexity of the phenomenon, making it fundamental for the integral promotion of all other rights. Regarding the methodology used, it is bibliographical and documentary research. Thus, the article responds that sustainable development presents itself like a new legal principle capable of overcoming the rhetorical game, generating rights and responsibilities in the legal arena.
