  Human rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction, and likewise other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality.
Human rights are typically divided into two categories: negative human rights (rights to be free from) and positive human rights (rights to), although other categorizations exist.
Other theories hold that human rights codify moral behavior, which is a human, social product developed by a process of biological and social evolution (associated with Hume) or as a sociological pattern of rule setting (as in the sociological theory of law and the work of Weber).

Human rights claim validity everywhere and for everyone, irrespective of whether they have received comprehensive legal recognition, and even irrespective of whether everyone is agreement with the claims and principles of human rights.

 Issues in S and T, Winter 2002, Conflicts of Interest in Human Subjects Research
Conflict of interest in biomedical research first came to public notice in the 1980s via a number of cases of scientific misconduct in which perpetrators had financial interests in the outcome of their research.
As with individual conflicts of interest, the task force was convinced that instances of potential institutional conflicts tend to be highly situational and that evaluation should be on a case-by-case basis, with the circumstances and context of each case fully considered in the oversight process.
Recognizing that its recommendations on individual and especially institutional conflicts of interest extend beyond current legal requirements, as well as beyond standard institutional practices, the task force's intention was to assist the academic community in responding voluntarily and credibly to the emerging concern over institutional conflicts of interest in human subjects research.

 National Interest, The: Human Nature and Human Rights
That right is not so much a natural or human right as one contingent on the fairly advanced economic and political development of certain civilizations.
It is generally observed, however, that as human societies evolve, many of the self-help functions are delegated to some superordinate authority.
This can be seen as a humanitarian advance in human morals, or as a retrograde step depriving individuals of the right of vengeance, but either way there is no question that it preserved the idea of redressing the genetic imbalance caused by a human-activated death.

 TPMCafe || the role of human interest stories
For that matter, Cindy Sheehan was a conscious human interest story, saying in a Slate interview (8/13) that "I'm only really doing the media's job for them." In other words, our continued presence in Iraq is an abstract problem, and the media deal in individual stories.
That is a powerful argument on behalf of human interest stories — or at least for seeing the human (and anecdotal) side of an issue.
I hate to sound paranoid, but I've always thought that the role of human interest stories, especially on cable news, was precisely to distract attention from the hard news that might enable people to understand their situation and act politically to affect it.
