Situation showing the exercise of each rights
Civil rights include the right to vote, the right to a fair trial, the right to
government services, the right to a public education, and the right to use
public facilities.
Political rights include natural justice (procedural fairness) in law, such as
the rights of the accused, including the right to a fair trial; due process;
the right to seek redress or a legal remedy; and rights of participation in
civil society and politics such as freedom of association, the right to
assemble.
Economic rights include the human right to work, the right to an
adequate standard of living, including food, clothing, and housing, the
right to physical and mental health, the right to social security, the right
to a healthy environment, and the right to education.
Social rights are moral, legal or societal rules and an understanding of
what is necessary to fulfil people's social needs and to promote social
inclusion and social solidarity. Social rights concern how people live and
work together and the basic necessities of life.
Cultural rights, a right to science, and a right to protection of authorship
interests. These guarantee the right to participate in and enjoy the
benefits of culture and science, and relate to the pursuit of knowledge,
understanding and human creativity.
Individual rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness as stated in the United States Declaration of Independence.
The rights of a people to, for example, ’’the lands, territories and
resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied, or otherwise
used or acquired.”
Natural rights include the right to property, the right to question the
government, and the right to have free and independent thought
The right to ownership of property, Right to patent, Right to goodwill,
etc. A personal right is related to a person's life i.e. his reputation or
standing in the society. These rights promote a person's well being in
society & have no economic value. Example: Right to life.
In order to clarify the meaning of States’ obligations, they are sometimes
put under three headings: to respect (refrain from interfering with the
enjoyment of the right), to protect (prevent others from interfering with
the enjoyment of the right) and to fulfil (adopt appropriate measures
towards the full realization of) economic, social and cultural rights.
Progressive achievement of economic, social and cultural rights. The
implementation of the obligations to respect and protect generally
requires. For example, the obligation to ensure the right to form and join
trade unions.
Assessment 2: Direction: Answer the following questions substantially.

1. What is right? What about human rights?

A right is something a person has which people think should not be taken away. It is a
rule about what a person is allowed to do or have. A right is different from a privilege, which is
something that must be earned. Rights may be put into laws, so they have legal protection.
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the
world, from birth until death. These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness,
equality, respect and independence. These values are defined and protected by law.

2. Who has human rights? Expand your answer.

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without
distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion,
national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

3. ‘’ Human rights can’t be taken away or transferred but can be limited when the exercise of it is
an affront to the rights of the others’’. What does this quote mean?

Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist as human beings. This means
that we are all equally entitled to our human rights. They should not be taken away, except in
specific situations and according to due. Similarly, violating economic, social and cultural rights
can negatively affect many other rights.

4. Cite real life situation in the Philippines showing clear violations of human rights. How do you
think the state can solve these human rights violations? Support your answer.

The most significant human rights issues included: killings by security forces, vigilantes
and others allegedly connected to the government, and by insurgents; torture and abuse of
prisoners and detainees by security forces; often harsh and life threatening prison conditions;
warrantless arrests by security forces. And I think to solve this problem I'll look at the system
first to see why that happened and then we will see if it will be fixed. I organize the people
within the government first and of course the implementation against that human rights issues.
