Rights in general term defined as the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory which everyone should have since the day that they were born.
'Men, are born and remain free and equal in rights'
'Every man is born with inalienable and indefeasible rights'
According to the reading 'Biopolitics and the rights of man' mentioned a contradiction whether the rights belong to every persons or the rights belong to only citizens within the nation-state which left the question what about the refugees? Will they be provided by rights as other people? Because of the creation of the notion of nation-state lead to the existence of nationality. People started to identify who they are as they started to question What is French? What is German? Even though refugees are not identified by any member of any state but it should have their own rights as any other human being should have not only citizens; as the new status of life as origin and ground of sovereignty, as it quoted in the context that 'refugee is truly the man of rights.'
