Inalienable Rights

Inalienable rights are the basic rights which all people should be given, right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness among a few of them. This idea was brought up by our own constitution, as well as John Locke's "Two Treatises of Government". In short, they are rights which cannot be taken away from anyone, the ones which provide for our safety and our freedoms. These rights seem to be becoming more exclusive to only the more "stable" countries. Places such as Haiti or Darfur, where people are constantly fighting for survival tend to go without these rights due to a lack of law enforcement keeping them safe.
