    Los populistas de derechas han convertido el derecho a la seguridad en un arma para consolidar el poder autoritario y legitimar políticas represivas. Este artículo esboza en primer lugar esta tendencia y, a continuación, sitúa esta forma de «populismo de los derechos humanos» en el contexto de la más amplia historia del derecho a la seguridad dentro de la teoría, la política y el derecho de los derechos humanos. Sostiene que la fuerza legitimadora del derecho a la seguri-dad como un meta-derecho siempre ha albergado en sí misma el potencial de socavar el sistema de los derechos humanos en su conjunto, y que ahora que el derecho a la seguridad está en manos populistas hay que resistirse a él por motivos filosóficos, jurídicos y políticos

    Right wing populists have weaponized the right to security in order to consolidate authoritarian power and legitimate repressive policies. This article first outlines this trend and then places this form of «human rights populism» in the longer history of the right to security within human rights theory, politics and law. It argues that the legitimating force of the right to security as a meta right has always had within it the potential to undermine the human rights system as a whole, and now that the right to security is in populist hands it must be resisted on philosophi-cal, legal and political grounds.KEYWORDSPopulism, repressive policies, human rights, right to security.DOI: https://doi.org/10.36151/TD.2025.122* Traducción del original en inglés, hecha con traductor automático, y revisada por Lucía Martínez Garay y Xavier More-no Estruch.
