Human rights are permissions afforded by the state

Chapter 22 — Human rights • Paragraph 2 • §22.00.02.00

Human rights, as is the case for rights, are permissions afforded by the state (see §21.00.02). It is the state that grants the permission to all of its citizens to carry out specific types of processing on datasets (other Beings and Things). In other words, it is the state that allows its citizens, for example, to hold property, to have families, to process any religious information they wish (freedom of religion), to materialise their every thought (freedom of expression) and so on.
