Abstract
"Human rights relate to specific areas of human existence which are characterised by two features. On the one hand they are of central importance in affirming an individual's value and identity and in articulating basic human needs. On the other hand, history shows that these rights stand in latent conflict with state authority, since they pose a barrier to the uninhibited wielding of this authority and set forth relentlessly sprouting seeds of opposition. For this reason, no totalitarian regime can accept healthy human rights, neither freedom of expression nor equality under the law; even in a strong democracy, there are ceaseless confrontations between the will of the majority and the obstinate opposition of fundamental human rights."
