The basis of a person’s legal status is civil rights and freedoms. Almost all of them are absolute. This means that they are not only integral, but also cannot be limited. The system of individual rights and freedoms is both simple and complex at the same time. There have always been many discussions about this kind of rights. Often they are identified precisely with democracy. Human rights and freedoms recognized by the constitution are a guarantee of democracy. Yes, their value is really great.
Personal rights and freedoms
First of all, they include the right to life. This is an inalienable human right. The rulers of all democracies agree with this. No one can just take and take life. In some countries, even abortion is prohibited under this right.
The right to life shows that the state, in the constitution of which it is enshrined, conducts a peaceful foreign policy, which is aimed at avoiding armed conflicts and wars.
Personal rights and freedoms are vast. They also include the right to dignity of the individual. Yes, honor is indeed protected by the constitution of most countries. In general, it is worth noting that modern countries are trying to achieve the maximum level of tolerance and respect for a person by person. The person is inviolable. No one can collect and disseminate information that damages him, without permission to enter his house, divulge his family and personal secrets.
In our country, the dignity of the individual is no longer referred to in the Constitution, but in the Civil Code. It contains many articles on the basis of which you can apply to the court with a claim for compensation for non-pecuniary damage.
The dignity of the individual is protected not only during the life of a person, but also after his death.
Each of us has the right to personal freedom and integrity. The right to freedom is freedom itself. That is, a person who has the right to freedom, without any additional conditions and permissions, has the right to commit any lawful actions. It is important to note that he should not limit the freedom of other people with his actions. Personal rights and freedoms are what guarantee the inviolability of a person. We ourselves choose what we will do. We cannot be prevented even in those cases (legal cases) when we act to the detriment of ourselves. In general, by law, any coercion is prohibited.
Physical abuse of a person is impossible. Torture, beatings, torture - all this is a crime. Responsibility for such actions comes in full compliance with the provisions of the Criminal Code.
Personal rights and freedoms also include the right to privacy. Agree, each of us does not want to put something on public display. In this case, we are not talking about any secrets, but about what concerns us personally or our loved ones. In theory, if a person does not want to be talked about, they should not talk about him. Unfortunately, this right is often violated. Famous people are especially affected. For example, singers, actors, politicians.
Personal rights and freedoms also apply to our movements. No one can force us to be in any particular place or not appear anywhere without some good and justified reason. We have the right to be where we wish.
Our home is our shrine. No one has the right to enter it without our permission. A modern person cannot be limited in rights due to belonging to a particular nation. Today, in democracies, all nations are equal. There is also freedom of religion and conscience. In this case, we are talking about the fact that people have the right to profess the religion that they want, or not to practice at all.
Of course, personal rights and freedoms include freedom of speech. Democracy is simply impossible without it.
