Rights

Rights are the fundamental entitlements and freedoms inherent to all human beings, often protected by international law and national constitutions, which include civil, political, economic, social, and cultural liberties.

Why it’s in the news: The concept of rights is in the news due to the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to human rights pioneer Navi Pillay and a rights group condemning US deportations to African countries as unlawful and exploitative.
