Rights in a global market by thomas j. donaldson. Positive rights: social and welfare rights, other people need to provide these to you (food, clothing, etc. ) A (cid:862)(cid:373)a(cid:454)i(cid:373)al(cid:863) dut(cid:455), o(cid:374) the other ha(cid:374)d, is o(cid:374)e whose fulfillment would be praiseworthy but not absolutely mandatory. Our concern, in turn, is with (cid:862)(cid:373)i(cid:374)i(cid:373)al,(cid:863) rather tha(cid:374) (cid:862)(cid:373)a(cid:454)i(cid:373)al(cid:863) duties. A right is (cid:449)hether it prote(cid:272)ts so(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g of (cid:862)para(cid:373)ou(cid:374)t i(cid:373)porta(cid:374)(cid:272)e. (cid:863) Rights are meaningless if there are not correlated duties, if you have a right to something (either (cid:374)egati(cid:448)e or positi(cid:448)e(cid:895) it (cid:373)ea(cid:374)s that the sa(cid:373)e right is against someone. Joel fei(cid:374)(cid:271)erg"s (cid:449)ell-k(cid:374)o(cid:449)(cid:374) defi(cid:374)itio(cid:374) of a right as a (cid:862)justified e(cid:374)title(cid:373)e(cid:374)t to something from so(cid:373)eo(cid:374)e. (cid:863) Let us stipulate three conditions that will be independently necessary and jointly sufficient for considering a given prospective as (a) a right and (b) a right of fundamental importance. Corporations always have an obligation to avoid depriving: negative right.
