The term "human rights", as used in the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]]  is  an ethical construct, denoting  entitlements that are deemed to be fully inherent in the existence of every human being, and whose  existence is deemed to be independent of the beliefs and interests of the community in which that person lives. The intention stated in the declaration was that the implementation of its stated entitlements should be accepted as a  obligation upon member countries  of the United Nations and others. However, acceptance of those obligations by member countries has nearly always been qualified by reservations relating to the views and interests of their communities. The principal category of qualification was the utilitarian precept that a community decision should take account of costs and benefits to all of its members.  A second category of qualification was the on the grounds that the ethical beliefs of their community differ from those reflected in the rights that are specified in the declaration
