A Wrong Name

  
  If we assume the rights that regulated by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as the rights that could not be enjoyed by Gents(不下庶人), then it apparently doesn’t conform to the contents and spirit of the covenant.

  
  If we deem the rights that regulated by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as common rights that can be enjoyed by everyone, and the name of the covenant shouldn’t appear the concept——Civil Rights——which belongs to the upper class only and can’t be enjoyed by Gents. This notion reserves the historical scar of the unequal human society. What’s the worse, the scar may inflame again if we couldn’t deal with it properly.

  
  Although “Civil Rights” we use today may not have the intention about discrimination of Gents(庶人), and the covenant also doesn’t want to discriminate anybody, the concept of Civil Rights retains the unequal mark in human’s history after all. And we can also be affected by threaten of unequal. Therefore, we should take Personal Rights(个人人权) or Human Rights(人类人权) instead of Civil Rights (can’t be enjoyed by Gents) and such outdated concepts.

  
  Somebody may say that: no matter what kinds of meanings Civil Rights ever had, people nowadays take them as ordinary right that can be shared by everyone. We should respect the evolution of history and shouldn’t haggle over the origin of the concept of the words. In the author’s opinion, this ideal may be reasonable to some extent. However, as Civil Rights refer to human rights that can be enjoyed by everyone in modern society, we shouldn’t juxtapose them with political rights. Political Rights are one kind of human rights, not outside the extent of human rights. Consequently, it is not accurate that correlatively listing the two subordinated concepts in the name of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

  
  Ⅲ。 Civil Rights cannot be juxtaposed with Political Rights
