that's fair. i don't care about the term used as long as we agree on the resulting actions that need to be done, and i agree that there is a difference between those categories. as far as i understand it, the definition of human rights includes both but that's an extended discussion. however on your last point, i would argue that despite the difference, free expression or fair trials do also create a duty or responsibility to provide these. for every right that is given, there exists a duty to provide or enable that right. it also works the other way around. if it is a duty to send my kids to school, then i have a right to a school within reasonable distance. if it is a duty to work, then i have a right to childcare. etc. so no matter how you look at it, right and duty are intertwined and can not be separated.
