摘要:Remembering famous Ronald Dworkin’s book, Taking rights seriously, I’ll defend the full,
fundamental, and universal role of welfare rights, often look upon suspicion and misgiving
specially on account of their colliding with civil and political rights. However, the clearcut
dichotomy established between civil and political rights, on the one hand, and welfare
rights, on the other, is wrong since the difference is, at most, of degree. To cope with this,
I’ll allege four arguments: the cost of rights, their universality, their relativity, and their
enforceability. I’ll support in that way the official doctrine of the United Nations about
the indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights.
