All people are entitled to human rights.
Anyone, anywhere
All people are entitled to fundamental human rights and freedoms. For the fundamental rights state has to ensure relevant policy, legislation to guarantee its effective execution. For freedoms the state has to restrain from certain actions that can negatively limit the freedom.
Fundamental rights and freedoms cannot be restricted based on nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, wealth, or even alleged criminal actions.
example If you have committed a crime and end up in prison, your freedom will be restricted, which is part of your punishment. But, you cannot be beaten, starved or called bad names.
Balancing rights
Human rights may be restricted. There are grounds defined by the Constitution, to establish some restrictions. In particular, the restriction has to be defined by law with the aim of protecting state security, it has to aim at preventing or solving crimes, protecting the public order, health and morals, the fundamental rights and freedoms of others.
example If you commit a crime and hurt someone, you might be sent to prison as punishment and lose your freedom. There are only a few rights that must never be restricted. These are the prohibition of torture and the freedom from slavery. Torture and enslavement cannot be justified in any circumstances.
Restrictions
Human rights do not mean that you can do anything you want. It can be explained best by saying that your freedoms end where someone else’s rights start. Your interests and rights have to be balanced with those of other people and compromise needs to be found.
example You cannot conduct an unsanctioned demonstration on the street and by doing this block other people on their way to work. It does not mean that you cannot demonstrate at all or that the rights of others to get to work is more important. But in every situation the interests of different people have to be evaluated and balanced. The State needs to provide an authorised institution to do that.
The means chosen for restricting fundamental rights and freedoms have to be suitable and necessary for the achievement of the aims.
