Human Rights Law
Human Rights Theory
-
-
Interdependent: each human right, in some way, contributed to a persons dignity. Each right relies on the others.
Indivisible: human rights are inherent to the dignity of every human person and cover civil, cultural, economic, political and social issues. therefore all human rights are considered to have equal status and are not positioned in a hierarchical order. denying a person one right invariably hinders their enjoyment of other rights.
Civil Liberties
There is a debate about the differences between civil liberties and Human Rights, one of them being that the difference is largely semantic and the terms are often used interchangeably with some overlap between the meaning or 'rights' and 'liberties'.
The key difference is why a person has them; Human Rights arise just by being a human, whereas civil liberties arise by citizens being granted that right; for example the rights given to American citizens by US constitution.
The UK does not have written constitution but is signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention of Human Rights, the latter being incorporated into domestic law via the Human Rights Act 1998. however the UK does not yet have a British Bill or Rights.
