What are the human rights of somebody who is violating somebody else's rights?

Answer 1

Answer 1

I can't address the matter of who's "rights" or what "rights" the questioner is asking about. Not all "rights" are codified in civil or criminal law. But if the question is addressing what happens to someone who is violating STATUTE LAW, l can answer that (in the US) they are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

However, you are assumed innocent ONLY by the government, and ONLY when accused of a criminal act, NOT a civil offense.

One's human rights do not depend on whether one is violating others rights. Human rights are permanent.

Answer 2

The question as asked is impossible to answer. Firstly, nearly every right overlaps with other rights. The Right to Freedom to Speech overlaps with Rights to Avoid Slander or Defamation. The Right to Privacy and Protections from Search and Seizure overlap with Rights to Safety and Security. The list goes on...

Secondly, not all rights are equally well protected in any given jurisdiction. For example, in the US, the Freedom of Speech has many high-level protections making it almost impossible to be convicted of slander or libel. However, the right to own firearms has an incredible amount of limitation and circumscription such as age requirements, licenses, amounts of ammunition that can sold, tracking mechanisms for the weapons, etc. This is not to say that more rights should be similar to either mold, but that different rights are enforced at different levels.

Thirdly, the strength by which any given right is protected can be very dependent on jurisdiction. In the case of Freedom of Speech, that right is strongly protected in the Western World. It is much weaker in the Islamic World where blasphemy laws are still in effect in numerous places.

So, unless the particular human rights of both individuals (and the violations thereof) are discussed and where the conflict is occurring, no salient answer can be given.
