When human rights are violated we lose are humanity and autonomy and then are forced to live in a way that does not fit our dignity. Secondly human rights protect the individual. A world without individual is boring and allows people to take control of others. Human rights also limit governmental power. Restricting the government again allows the individual to shine through and make decisions for them self.
Human rights try to aim for self-liquidation.
The government does help human rights to be self-liquidating. This is the idea that one asserts their human rights in anticipation of making a society where human right become no longer necessary. Lastly, human rights are important because when taken away we appreciate them more. This possession paradox states human rights are most important when one does not have them.
