Political legitimacy rests on the idea of order and justice. But we are all aware of the tenacity with which the legal, rather than sheltering justice serves to conceal situations of injustice that is perpetuated, metamorphosed and naturalized. So the paper tries to join a series of considerations about the idea of justice that arise in contemporaneous philosophy, where it is taken into account its transcendent dimension in contrast with worldly powers and thus, it points to hold a kind of reflection on the public policies based on human rights.
