From Human Rights to Citizenship Rights; from Subjectivity to Participation

Within the framework of human rights, one can conceive of the vague concept of inherent dignity on the basis of the concept of "normative subjectivity " and, on the basis of the role of human rights in protecting the personality, one can find a way for understanding of what human rights are there and what is their its implications. In contrast, within the framework of the rights of citizens, based on the importance of the distinct role of citizens in shaping and protecting collective life, citizens can determine the conditions governing social life equally. This position guarantees not only equal rights in order to benefit from the collective goodness provided by political participation, but also include equal duties in order to protect and strengthen them. In this regard, citizenship forms the "right to have rights" in the sense that it empowers the citizens themselves to decide what rights they want and how.
