права

That which is due to individuals, based on core ethical principles. Rights create parallel duties on the part of others, or on society as a whole. So-called negative rights are rights of non-interference (e. G. , with one’s speech, conscience, associations), typically grounded in the principle of autonomy. Positive rights, by contrast, are rights of "recipience" (e.g. to education, health care), typically grounded in the principle of justice.
