Resumo:The text provides two proposals: institutional cosmopolitanism and the cosmopolitanism of responsibility. The former, as the term suggests, relies on legal and political institutions to be maintained, but these institutions need to be restructured to meet the new demands of contemporary society. The cosmopolitanism of responsibility highlights the importance of effectively building duties and spaces for accountability for all national and international actors. As a result, proposals such as due diligence in the context of climate disasters or even structural violations of human rights are envisioned. Furthermore, the concept of accountability aligns with scholars of decolonial theories, in which racial and religious conflicts pose significant challenges to critical cosmopolitanism. The central issue is to discover whether cosmopolitanism – united by neologisms that emerge to expand the linguistic field toward new concepts for new realities – can find alternatives to the lack of effectiveness of human rights and duties at the national and international levels. The method used was phenomenological hermeneutics because there is no interpretation without understanding.
