	Social rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social rights are generally considered an obligation a society places upon itself and its citizens to ensure to all people some specified standard of living, without discrimination.
		Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction or other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality.
		The theory of three generations of human rights considers social rights to be "second-generation rights", and the theory of negative and positive rights considers them to be "positive rights".

	International Policy on Human Rights
		Human rights were defined from the start to include the universal right to a standard of living that is adequate for the health and well-being of individuals and their families.
		Social work, with its person-in-environment perspective, is vividly aware of the deleterious effects of human rights violations on the growth and development of the individual.
		Social workers must advocate for the rights of vulnerable people and must condemn policies, practices, and attitudes of bigotry, intolerance, and hate that put any person’s human rights in grave jeopardy—the violation of human rights based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, immigration status, or religion are a few examples.

	Human Rights (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Examples of human rights are the right to freedom of religion, the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime, the right not to be tortured, and the right to engage in political activity.
		Deciding whether to implement social rights is not a matter of deciding whether to bear such burdens, but rather of deciding whether to continue with total reliance on a system of informal provision that distributes benefits in a very spotty way and whose costs fall very unevenly on families, friends, and communities.
		If the right is the right to a fair trial when one is arrested and accused of a crime, the demand side would set out the rightholder's claim to a fair trial and the reasons why that claim is very valuable or important.

	Promoting economic, social and cultural rights - Amnesty International
		Yet, 10 years on, the systematic denial of economic, social and cultural rights, growing global inequalities and the failure of governments to significantly reduce the number of people living in extreme poverty, are among the defining human rights problems of our time.
		There are differences between individual human rights guarantees, not least in the degree to which they are protected in international law, but most of the common objections to economic and social rights are misguided.
		Rights of access to health care, to social security, or to enjoy an adequate standard of living will be better realized if a fair and effective system for the administration of justice is in place.

	Your Social Security Number: How Secure Is It?
		When Social Security numbers were first issued in 1936, the federal government assured the public that use of the numbers would be limited to Social Security programs.
		With the Social Security number accessible to so many people, it is relatively easy for someone to fraudulently use your SSN to assume your identity and gain access to your bank account, credit accounts, utilities records, and other sources of personal information.
		Social Security numbers may be obtained by colleges and universities for students who have university jobs and/or receive federal financial aid.

	Social Rights and Citizenship: An International Comparison
		In this chapter we address the question whether access to the social welfare state and to the labor market should be rationed on the basis of citizenship in liberal democracies, and, like many potential rights, be denied to established, presumably permanent non-citizens.
		Liberal democracies have steadily moved from citizenship to personhood (Soysal 1994), or at least presumptive permanence, when allocating social rights.
		(By social rights we mean access to contributory and noncontributory social benefits, access to social investments such as job training, and access to the labor market.) This development represents a major postwar victory for liberalism (Joppke 1999).

		The right to self-determination is a cornerstone of the international legal system, and has been a premier concern of the international community since the creation of the United Nations in 1945, particularly in regard to issues such as independence, non-interference and democracy.
		As far as the rights contained in the Covenant are concerned, the right of peoples freely to pursue their economic, social and cultural development includes freedom to carry on economic, social and cultural activities.
		The right to work is fundamental to the enjoyment of certain subsistence and livelihood rights such as food, clothing, housing, etc. Moreover, one's working status may easily affect the enjoyment of other rights relating to health and education.

	Human rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As is evident in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights, at least in the post-war period, are conceptualized as based on inherent human dignity, retaining their universal and inalienable character.
		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).
		The term "human rights" has replaced the term "natural rights" in popularity, because the rights are less and less frequently seen as requiring natural law for their existence.
