Human rights and their limits.

While defending the universality of human rights as norms of behavior, Osiatynski admits that the philosophy on human rights does not need to be universal.  Instead he suggests that the enjoyment of social rights should be contingent upon the recipient's contribution to society. This book argues that, although rights are a prerequisite of freedom, they should be balanced with other values that are indispensable for social harmony and personal happiness.
