1. Human rights that are generally recognized and accepted throughout the world. • These rights include freedom from extrajudicial execution, torture, and arbitrary arrest and detention. Core rights are embodied in many human-rights conventions, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
2. Fundamental rights claimed within a social, cultural, or other context. • These are not universally recognized rights. For example, the ability to vote may be a fundamental right of citizens in one country but only a privilege limited to selected people in another.
