KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Natural Rights
Natural rights are rights believed to belong to individuals inherently and independently of government recognition.
In natural law theory, these rights arise from human nature itself and are considered universal and fundamental.
The doctrine became especially influential during the eighteenth century and contributed to constitutional and human rights developments.
In land law, the term also refers to rights automatically attached to land ownership, such as the right to support for land in its natural condition.
A violation of these land-related natural rights may amount to an actionable nuisance under the law.
