Is all morality about human rights? Is the whole of morality
about human rights, or human rights the whole of morality? Are
there other types of moral concern than human rights concerns?
One can argue that morality is a human construct as we are the
only species (at present) able to recognize and live by its
existence. Thus, morality can only apply to human rights because
we are the only species able to even enter into conversation
with it in the first place. With that in mind, do all moral
considerations necessarily only relate back to the protection of
these rights; so that concerns for animals or the environment
are relevant only as moral concerns in terms of how they can
directly/or indirectly affect human rights? Or is morality a
universal concept that extends far beyond the remit of Human
Rights and if so how can one justify such a position?
