- Title
Human Rights as Natural Rights.
- Authors
Donnelly, Jack
- Abstract
The article focuses on the social justice model, an alternative theory of human rights advances by Charles R. Beitz. Based on the model, human rights are entitlements to the satisfaction of various human interests that would be guaranteed to members of a group by principles of social justice. In his model, Beitz contends that the conception of both rights and naturalness adopted by natural rights theorists exclude from the list of valid human rights. According to the author, Beitz theory leads to a radical reconstruction of the concept of human rights rather than the exposition it is presented to be.
