Legitimacy lies at the heart of all political discourse and determines much political competition in both developed and less developed societies. Legitimacy is about social, economic and political rights, and it is what transforms coercive capacity and personal influence into durable political authority.
The primary criterion of the legitimacy of any regime or system of government should be its degree of commitment to the protection of human lives -- every human life -- as demonstrated by its endeavors to meet the most basic needs, the dire needs, of the people more endangered and/or those least privileged.
