Sumario:This article explains the ideas behind the conclusion that the contributions of chinese delegate, Peng Chun Chang, were essential to the universal and intercultural nature of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. At the same time, these premises are explained in more detail to show that they do not necessarily make the Declaration a construable text in the light of Rawls’s overlapping consensus. In addition, an explanation is offered for the sense in which the writers of the Declaration incorporated an argument of philosophical foundation, and for the role that lebanese delegate, Charles Malik, had in that process.
