Human Rights Transformed: Positive Rights and Positive Duties
Fredman FBA, Sandra (Professor of Law, Oxford University; Fellow of Exeter College Oxford)
Human rights are traditionally understood as protecting individual freedom against intrusion by the State. This book argues instead that human rights are based on a richer view of freedom, going beyond absence of coercion and focusing on the ability to exercise freedom. Instead of merely restraining the State, human rights create positive duties.
