Pierre Lantz, What exactly do we mean by human rights ?
Human rights today cannot be reduced to the restricted formulation in which they are the equivalent of natural law : in the 18th century, the concept already implied the implementation of political and social rights ; liberty and equality were inseparable. Thus the main contradictions between private rights and those of the citizen, between the guarantee of property and the belonging of the citizen to the State justify several interpretations of human rights ; in the ultimate resort, they refer to the multiple aspects of Man himself, an individual interacting with other men, the object of law, a social being. Beyond their formulation at a given point in Western history, human rights pose the question of a truly human society which cannot be limited to its legal aspects. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
