We highlight in this article the difficulty of critical reflection on Agambenian thought with reference to what the author himself used as a paradigmatic object of exemplification, concretization and conclusion of his concepts that have been constructed for a long time and that had not yet been framed in an expressive practical expression. and contemporary in meaning. Thus, our objective here is to offer an element that integrates, from the perspective of Human Rights, the discussion about the relevance and mainly the materialization of Agabemnian thought. In this way, we carry out a bibliographical review of the works of Giogio Agamben, highlighting his main concepts and we seek to establish, in light of the arguments of José Augusto Lindgren Alves, in his article The opposite of human rights (explaining Zizek) (2002), the possibility of understanding the materialization of the internal contradiction of the Human Rights mechanism. In this way, it is justified by the need to demystify that Agamben's work is difficult to interpret and, mainly, that it does not allow for the practical significance of its own precepts and to demonstrate that, if such a scenario occurs, it is due to the so-called readings hasty and lazy people who seek at all costs this conceptual materialization in what is incompatible with these biopolitical concepts themselves. The result is the correspondence between the practical verifications of José Augusto Lindgren Alves and the theoretical framework of Giorgio Agamben, from the perspective of the opposite of the precepts of Human Rights, precisely in the name – and in the systematics, or in the system – of these same rights, mainly the level of International Human Rights Law, as well as perspectives at the domestic state level.
