This article deals about the common good of humanity with a new legal
paradigm: iusmaterialism. It is a contribution to the proposal of F. Houtart
for a Declaration of United Nations about the Common Good of Humanity.
A proposal borned from social movements. This analysis a) places the Declaration
in the current context of imperial war against the peoples in the
twenty first century; b) shows that the system of needs and capabilities is
a biocentric category which becomes central for any common political project;
c) argues that the right to revolution is the origin of any legal system
that places the flourishing of living as its centre; as the sumak kawsay or
suma qamaña.
