What is a human right? How can we determine if a proposed human right truly qualifies as one? These critical questions confront philosophers, political theorists, and activists alike. The investigation into the foundations of human rights reveals a historical evolution, tracing the idea of natural rights from the late Middle Ages, where they were linked to natural laws, through the Enlightenment, which stripped away theological underpinnings. By the Enlightenment's end, the term "human rights" emerged, yet it left an incomplete understanding of what constitutes a human right. The language surrounding human rights has since become diluted, lacking widely accepted criteria for its proper application. The author aims to establish a clear concept of human rights, grounded in our shared human status, examining both widely accepted rights like freedom of expression and more contentious issues like welfare rights. The goal is to provide a substantive account that can discern genuine rights from proposed ones. This endeavor is not merely theoretical; as recognized by the United Nations in 1948, human rights hold significant potential to enhance global well-being. Clarifying the concept of human rights is essential, and this work seeks to refine and advance the ongoing discourse to complete its current inadequacies.
