handle is hein.journals/brazintl9 and id is 1 raw text is: O mito de Francisco de Vitória: defensor dos direitos dos índios ou patriota espanhol?* The myth of francisco de vitoria: deftnder of the rights ofthe indian o sanish patriot? Resumo O presente texto analisa algumas distorções que a busca por um pai fundador da disciplina de direito internacional provocou quando engendrou o mito de Francisco de Vitória. O teólogo de Salamanca se tornou um de- fensor do direito dos índios e teria tido uma concepção de direito das gentes bastante moderna. No entanto, Vitória também foi um patriota espanhol e um tomista, duas filiações prejudiciais a essa imagem. Conclui-se que a sua concepção de direito das gentes ainda é antiga, bem distinta da noção atual de direito internacional, e que o autor esposa um direito de intervenção, em- bora distinto daquele apregoado pela política oficial da Espanha. O método utilizado foi o indutivo, e as fontes primárias foram os próprios textos do au- tor (documentação bibliográfica). O artigo visa, pois, desmitificar uma ideia muito comum sobre um dos maiores fundadores do direito internacional. Palavras-chave: Francisco de Vitória. Direito das gentes. Direito natural. Abstract This text analyzes some distortions that the search for a founding fa- ther of the discipline of International Law caused when it created the myth of Francisco de Vitoria. The Theologian of Salamanca became a supporter of the right of the Indians and would have had a conception of the Law of the Peoples quite modern. However, Vitoria was also a Spanish patriot and a Thomist, two affiliations harmful to this image. In conclusion, Vitoria's con- ception ofthe Law ofthe Peoples is still ancient and very distinguished from the current notion of International Law; in addition, the author supports a right of intervention, albeit distinct from the one stated by the official policy of Spain. The method used was the inductive and the primary sources were the author's own texts (bibliographic documentation). Hence, the article aims to demystify a very common idea about one of the major founders of Inter- national Law. Keywords: Francisco de Vitoria. Law ofthe peoples. Natural law.
