Broadly speaking, your rights, whatever they may be, define the limits to your freedom. In the Western tradition of freedom, these are your civil and political rights, including your freedom of speech, religion, and association. Some philosophers see these not only as morally justified rights in themselves, but also as the means for fulfilling other possible rights, like happiness.
The international justification for your freedom is by reference to human rights, those due to you as a human being and object of international conventions. The most basic of all these rights are those defining what governments cannot do to you. In effect, these human rights define what many mean by democratic freedom. Your freedom of thought, expression, religion, association, is basic, as are the secret ballot, periodic elections, and the right to representation. In short, these rights say that you have a right to be free. This is universal: we all have internationally defined and protected human rights.

Comentário do professor
Comentário: A afirmação está ERRADA porque o pronome “themselves” refere-se a “rights” e não a “Some philosophers”. No contexto da frase, os filósofos estão discutindo direitos, e o uso do pronome reflexivo “themselves” é uma maneira de enfatizar que esses direitos são justificados por si mesmos, ou seja, que possuem valor intrínseco. Portanto, a relação correta é entre “themselves” e “rights”, não com “Some philosophers”.
