- sircastor 5y agoThis is the only way human rights work. They’re rights of the individual because they are a human. They can’t be bestowed or removed by oneself, another individual, or society. You exist and therefore inherently have these rights.
- Georgelemental 5y agoYes there is. Freedom of thought is the most absolute right of all, it's completely impossible to restrict. Freedom of expression, freedom of worship, right to remain silent, right to a free and fair trial are rights that you possess by virtue of being human, which an unjust government can attempt to take away from you (but with at most partial success).
