Question

What are ‘rights’? How can we claim a right?

Answer 1

A claim right is a right which entails responsibilities, duties, or obligations on other parties regarding the right-holder. In contrast, a liberty right is a right which does not entail obligations on other parties, but rather only freedom or permission for the right-holder.

Answer 2

$\mathbb{\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}}$

"Rights" are claims of a person over other fellow beings, the society and the government.

(1) A right is possible when we make a claim that is equally possible for others. You cannot have a right that harms or hurts others.

(ii) The Serbs in Yugoslavia could not have claimed the whole country for themselves.

(iii) The claims we make should be reasonable. They should be such that it can be made available to others in equal measure.

(iv) A right comes with an obligation to respect others' rights.
