On November 21, 2024 at 6:00 PM, another open lecture was held in our project. It was titled: "Human rights as an inviolable and inalienable value".
University professor Arkadiusz Indraszczyk analyzed selected philosophical systems, starting from Judaism, through the philosophies of ancient Greece, Rome, Christianity, up to the 20th century, in terms of examining the laws of nature and deriving from them the rights belonging to humans. Regardless of the philosophical system and the era in which such a system was created, they have common features such as: the existence of natural laws, natural law, derived from the human right to life, the right to freedom, the right to property, which belong to man by virtue of the very existence of a human being, and therefore they do not have to be given to him, since he possesses them by virtue of being a human being. The very fact that such a view has been repeated by philosophers of all ages testifies to the naturalness of human rights. The lecture also highlighted the state's obligations resulting from the fact that human rights are natural rights. The state and other systems (e.g. international organizations) must recognize them, they do not have to grant them. The codification of human rights results from the fact that natural law is translated into positive law so that human rights can be better understood and better protected. During the discussion, the necessity of having a procedure for pursuing human rights in the event of violations in the political system was also emphasized. The problem of continued unequal treatment of women was also pointed out, despite the fact that in many countries women are de jure guaranteed the same rights as men.
