Natural rights and legal rights

Philosophical and political rights

Some philosophers distinguish two types of rights, natural rights and legal rights.Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government, and so are universal, fundamental and inalienable. Natural law is the law of natural rights. Legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system. The concept of positive law is related to the concept of legal rights.
