Categories of Human Rights

Human rights can be classified into various categories. The most current distinction is that between civil and political rights on the one hand, and economic, social and cultural rights on the other. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights comprises these two major categories of human rights in one document. However, when the other component parts of the international Bill of Human Rights were elaborated, it was decided to split these two categories of human rights into two separate documents, an International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and an International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The rationale for this division was that the two sets of rights differed in nature-one category of rights was subject to immediate application, whereas the other category required progressive realization - and that therefore different implementation measures were called for.

It is, however, questionable whether a clear distinction can be made between civil and political rights, and economic, social and cultural rights. At least there should be no misunderstanding that both Covenants entail legal undertakings on the part of States parties. The preambles of both Covenants underline the conceptual interdependence of both categories of human rights by explicitly recognizing that, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free human beings enjoying freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his economic, social and cultural rights as well as his civil and political rights. Moreover, many United Nations pronouncements emphasize the indivisibility and interdependence of all human rights. Thus, for example, the Declaration on the Right to Development 1986) states:

All human rights and fundamental freedoms are indivisible and interdependent; equal attention and urgent consideration should be given to the implementation, promotion and protection of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.

In this overview, the broad range of human rights will not be spelled out in detail. By way of general indication it is recalled that among the civil and political rights are counted: the rights pertaining to the life, integrity, liberty and security of the human person; the rights with respect to the administration of justice; the right to privacy; the rights to freedom of religion or belief and to freedom of opinion and expression; freedom of movement; the right to assembly and association; and the right to political participation. Economic, social and cultural rights include: the right to work; trade union freedoms; the right to an adequate standard of living, including food, clothing and housing; the right to health care; the right to education; and the right to take part in cultural life.

All these rights are contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and are further defined in the subsequent component parts of the international Bill of Human Rights and in a number of more specific international instruments. They all confirm the notion already included in the Charter of the United Nations and reaffirmed in the Universal Declaration that all persons are entitled to these rights, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The significance and scope of this principle of non-discrimination is further highlighted by the provision contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that all persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.

Why were human rights divided into two parts? What are the titles of the documents containing various categories of human rights?

 

How do the preambles of the Covenants underline the interdependence of categories of human rights?

What rights can be found among civil and political rights? Name some of them.

How is the principle of non-discrimination underlined in the Universal Declaration?
