Group_Rights

Group Rights The argument of whether group rights should be recognised essentially comes down to two ideas of what a groups right really is. The first is called Derivative Group Rights. The main point behind this idea this that group rights are just individual rights held by each member of the group, and group membership is the only commonality between the individuals within the group. The second is called fundamental group rights. The main point behind this idea is that there are some cases where a 'group voice' for a right is needed and expressed, and these situations are true group rights. The derivative group rights idea suggests that there aren't really any group rights as such; more that individuals that have the same rights are within a group. The fundamental group rights idea however suggests that this is not the case and there are situations where rights are expressed as a group and not merely individuals that share a common right. There are many reasons behind the idea of fundamental groups rights that reinforce the belief that groups rights should be recognised. Legally there are laws that apply to groups and not individuals that allow these groups to exercise rights relating to group, rights, right, recognised, idea, should, individuals, example, decision, within, theory, groups, laws, interest, individual, far, behind, same, protect, make, lack, however, exercising, effective, choices, whether, reasons, really, point, influential, identity, human, give, fundamental, comes, capacity, another, voting, suggests, situations, shouldn't, rise, relating, preserve, often, members, mean, maori, making, main, lost
