Human rights are what, according to moral norms, everyone living in the world is endowed with simply by virtue of being human. In seeking our rights, we tend to appeal to our own government from a moral point of view: this is not the way to do it, because it is an invasion of my morality and an affront to my personal dignity. No one, neither man nor government, can ever take away our human rights.
