Human Rights, What Are They Really?

What fundamental rights does everyone in the world have? Are they what governments or the United Nations say they are? Not quite, according to Robert Stephen Higgins, B.A.Sc., who believes that certain proclaimed rights were simply invented by idealists to support their visions of an ideal society. Being specific to a particular ideology (socialist liberalism) they are unsuitable for imposition onto everybody. In reviewing the present doctrine on human rights the author took a strictly objective approach to the question of what fundamental rights every person is born with. The result is a complete theory of human rights in which the rights are implicitly innate and universal.
The book discusses implementation of real rights and identifies opposing forces. It describes the differences, viability and merits of a nation based on true human rights. A supplement contains essays that describe the impact of human rights theory on ten current issues ranging from same sex marriage to world poverty.
