Question

How do both the Treaty and the Charter protect the collective rights of a group of people?

Answer 1

Group rights, also known as collective rights, are rights held by a group qua a group rather than by its members severally;[1] in contrast, individual rights are rights held by individual people; even if they are group-differentiated, which most rights are, they remain individual rights if the right-holders are the individuals themselves.[2] Group rights have historically been used both to infringe upon and to facilitate individual rights, and the concept remains controversial.
