Abstract

The morality of human rights, as I explained in Chapter 1, is mainly a political morality. The part of that political morality with which I am concerned in this chapter consists of antipoverty rights: rights designed to provide the rights-holders with access - access they would otherwise lack - to one or more of the following resources in the amount required if one is to be able to live a minimally decent life: food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education. A principal question addressed here, a question that has been contested: Are antipoverty rights true human rights?
