This essay analyzes the interaction between human rights and the cultural practices of the Wayuu indigenous community, addressing the tensions that arise in the application of universal principles such as human rights in specific cultural contexts. Key concepts such as the free development of personality and cultural diversity are reviewed in dialogue with concepts and theories from authors such as Donnelly (2013), the San José Declaration of Costa Rica (2014), Nussbaum (2011), Stuart Hall (1996), Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2007), and Amartya Sen (2009), among others. Furthermore, the ancestral practices of the Wayuu and the conflicts that emerge between these customs and legal norms in the national territory are explored. Finally, it is concluded that a contextualized and respectful interpretation of human rights can promote the protection of cultural identity without violating fundamental universal principles. Recommendations are also made to strengthen the integration of Indigenous communities into public policies, promoting an intercultural approach that fosters mutual respect and harmonious coexistence among these communities.
