Natural and legal rights are two types of rights. Legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system. (i.e., rights that can be modified, repealed, and restrained by human laws). Natural rights are those not contingent upon the laws, customs, or beliefs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws).
The concept of natural law is closely related to the concept of natural rights. During the Age of Enlightenment, the concept of natural laws was used to challenge the divine right of kings, and became an alternative justification for the establishment of a social contract, positive law, and government – and thus legal rights – in the form of classical republicanism. Conversely, the concept of natural rights is used by others to challenge the legitimacy of all such establishments.
The idea of human rights is also closely related to that of natural rights: some acknowledge no difference between the two, regarding them as synonymous, while others choose to keep the terms separate to eliminate association with some features traditionally associated with natural rights. Natural rights, in particular, are considered beyond the authority of any government or international body to dismiss. The 1948 United NationsUniversal Declaration of Human Rights is an important legal instrument enshrining one conception of natural rights into international soft law. Natural rights were traditionally viewed as exclusively negative rights, whereas human rights also comprise positive rights. Even on a natural rights conception of human rights, the two terms may not be synonymous.
I've got the blood under my nails from scratching Scratching the peels from my heart The heart that's drowning in sorrow For that's all I am right now The longing for something that's calling me Something that holds the insights The insights that reveal the true outside See the outside inside out I miss you, but I don't know who you are I miss you, show yourself to me I want to go back Back to the world without a body To my universal roots What's wrong, what's wrong with me I can sense you But even more I can sense your absence It's like being born without my mother Was there a reason to send me away Down here to learn from my pains To swallow shit and my pride Forgiven, but punished all the same If you only knew There's so much I want to tell I almost lost my sanity to rationality Can I be completely with you when I live I miss you, but I don't know who you are I miss you, show yourself to me I want to go back Back to the world without a body To my universal roots What's wrong, what's wrong with me I can sense you But even more I can sense your absence
