Abstract
It is commonly held that rights "correlate" with duties. By this is usually meant at least that rights imply duties (even if not all duties imply rights) and also that claims of individual rights need not be recognized unless backed by proof that corresponding obligations obtain. Such a doctrine of correlativity also forms part of the view that rights must be understood or analyzed in terms of duty or obligation.
