Summary/Abstract: Most international conventions containing provisions on human rights do not extend to the limits of their performance and the correlative duties. In reality, all rights entail obligations and responsibilities of the holders. Beside the obligations of States and international organizations to ensure the conditions required for rights to be respected, there is also the obligation of every individual not to violate the rights of others. In societies politically organized in states, one gives up their natural freedom and accepts a limited one, which should provide safety and the possibility to assert one’s own personality; however, this is equally valid for all persons one has social relations with.
