Rethinking in Human Rights: Responsibility to God Before Rights
If we accept the premise that human rights are a human creation, a fundamental re-evaluation becomes necessary. This is precisely why we must contemplate our responsibility to God. This divine obligation, I believe, should be understood as preceding and grounding our man-made rights. When rights are seen merely as human constructs, they can be fluid and unstable. However, anchoring them in a transcendent responsibility provides a more profound and enduring foundation for justice and human dignity.
