INTRODUCTION


Humans are reasonable creatures, and nature has written what is right and wrong in them. The question of harmonizing the cultural, associational, economic, and political ties within the subject and the state , as well as individuals in general, grew increasingly complicated as society progressed. The lack of an organized and peaceful society has compelled individuals to seek better standards that can adequately govern human behavior and provide fairness to those who need it. While nature has its own law that governs both animate and inanimate forms of life , its principles are precise and un-manifest. People interpret natural laws accordingly based on their own beliefs, consciousness, and philosophies. “In Jurisprudence the term ‘ Natural law’ means those rules and principles which are supposed to have originated from some supreme source other than political or worldly authority”1. Natural law theories appear to be capable to recognize circumstances and values of rational right-mindedness, fair and decent behavior in individuals, and their behavior. “According to natural law moral theory, the moral standards that govern human behavior are, in some sense, objectively derived from the nature of human beings and the nature of the world”2. Among these morals and values of a decent human being is a reverence for rights that any human has in order to protect themselves from monstrosity of the evil minds of community . Human rights , that every single person is entitled to , and the government is obligated to provide to every single individual .
