ABSTRACT

Human rights were based on our needs to preserve our lives and develop our personalities and intellects; they included economic, political, and educational rights. Human rights applied to all human beings. While the subjects of women's rights were women, setting them in contrast to men, and the subjects of people's rights were the common people, setting them in opposition to rulers, aristocrats, bureaucrats, and warlords, the subjects of human rights were all human beings. Human rights were opposed only to the minority who tried to suppress the rights of the majority. Fundamental economic rights mean that all people should enjoy the necessary materials for subsistence-namely, that they should have rights to the minimum essential level of clothing, food and housing. Thus, a just state ought to have a basic system that genuinely protects all people's fundamental rights, namely, economic rights, political rights, and educational rights. This criterion applies to all systems.
