Human Rights And Terrorism

Abstract

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms, to which all humans are entitled. They include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. Proponents of the concept usually assert that everyone is endowed with certain entitlements merely by reason of being human. Human rights are thus conceived in an universalistic and egalitarian fashion. Such entitlements can exist as shared norms of actual human moralities, as justified moral norms or natural rights supported by strong reasons, or as legal rights either at a national level or within international law. However, there is no consensus as to the precise nature of what in particular should or should not be regarded as a human right in any of the preceding sense, and the abstract concept of human rights has been a subject of intense philosophical debate and criticism.
