rights of the subject

The rights of a subject refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections individuals have regarding how they are treated by authorities or in legal matters. These rights ensure personal dignity, privacy, and fairness, such as the right to be heard, the right to a fair trial, and protection from discrimination or abuse. They serve to safeguard an individual’s autonomy and ensure that any intervention or decision affecting them is justified and respectful. Essentially, they provide individuals with a foundation of respect and fairness in their interactions with institutions and the state.
