Sri Lanka's Fundamental and Human Rights

Fundamental Rights & Human Rights are similar yet different concepts. Fundamental Rights are entitlements established within a country's legal system, while Human Rights are inalienable rights that every person is inherently entitled to as a human being. Both concepts protect basic freedoms like freedom of thought, religion, speech and assembly. However, Fundamental Rights are enforceable in domestic courts, while Human Rights have no legal sanction but apply universally to all people without discrimination.
