Nature of Rights

Nature of Rights: It is rather easy to identify as to what lies at the roots of rights on the basis of what has been hitherto discussed.

The nature of rights is hidden in the very meaning of rights. Rights are not only claims, they are in the nature of claims.

Rights are claims but all claims are not rights. Rights are those claims which are recognised as such by the society. Without such recognition, rights are empty claims.

Society is organised in character and an individual obviously cannot have any right apart from what the society concedes.

Rights are social; they are social in the sense that they emanate from society at any given point of time; they are social because they are never, and in fact, can never be, anti-social;

they are social because they had not existed before the emergence of society; and they are social because they can not be exercised against the common good perceived by the society.
