We tend to think of human rights as belonging to the realm of morality. Because it is individuals who possess or who are denied their rights, we see the question of rights as residing at the level of the individual. However, while there is a certain intellectual temptation to do so, this is not the most profitable (in terms of promoting greater human rights) or even the most accurate way in which to consider the issue of human rights. Rather, we should consider human rights within the framework of political discourse, for while rights reside in individuals, they are most usually taken from individuals by states. And the action of states (and the ways in which states and individuals interact with each other) is a political question rather than a moral one.
