Document Summary
International covenant on civil and political rights: foundationalism: (foundationalist) the view that any theory or principle must be justified by reference to more basic or foundational beliefs, which are held to be self evident or self justifying thus, a foundationalist position is one that relies on an apparently self evident claim, e. g. , human frailty is a universal experience of human existence", international covenant on civil and political rights: one of the twin covenants" that forms the backbone of the international bill of rights. On this view the law does not gain its legitimacy from the natural law or other ethical considerations, but from being enacted by an appropriate institutional authority: liberalism: a political philosophy/ideology emphasizing humans" rational capacities, the role of individuals in shaping social life, the harmony of individuals" rights, freedoms, and interests, market economics (in either classical liberal or welfare liberal strands), and democratic government (conceived often as limited government).
