You have basic rights just because you are human—the government does not give them to you. These rights belong to you naturally and cannot be taken away. Every government office, official, and even other people must respect, protect, and promote your rights. This means no one can ignore or violate your fundamental freedoms, and the government must actively support them.

Fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual are inherent and not granted by the State.

The rights and freedoms of the individual and groups enshrined in this Chapter shall be respected, upheld and promoted by all organs and agencies of Government and by all persons.

Fundamental rights and freedoms belong to every person naturally and are not given by the State
