Denebolian republic - Bill of Rights

Denebolian Ministry of Internal Affairs

Every person within the Denebolian Republic — whether or not they hold Denebolian citizenship — is protected by a set of fundamental rights. These rights are guaranteed by Title II of the Constitution and meet or exceed the human-rights standards the Republic is bound to uphold under the Denebolian Accord.

This page sets those rights out in plain terms for everyone who lives in, works in, or passes through the Republic. The full legal text, including the precise limits and exceptions, lives in the Constitution.

Former documents concerning Basic Rights and Immigration Law (Documents DRL800624DC, DRL900624FC, DRL100624IL) have been incorporated into Denebolian Constitution.


Rights held by everyone

These rights belong to every person under the Republic's authority, citizen or not, in peace and in conflict alike. 

01. Life & Security

You have the right to life, liberty, and personal safety, and to protection from violence and threats.

02. Freedom from torture and cruel treatment

No one may be tortured or treated in a cruel, inhuman, or degrading way, made to disappear, or detained arbitrarily. This protection is absolute — it holds even in war or emergency.

03. Freedom of expression

You may speak, write, create, and share your views without censorship or persecution. The only limits are narrow ones, such as incitement to violence or hate speech.

04. A fair process

If you are accused of anything, you are presumed innocent, entitled to a fair and open hearing before an independent court, and to legal representation.

05. Privacy

Your personal life, communications, and belongings are protected from unwarranted surveillance or search.

06. Health

You are entitled to medical care. Healthcare in the Republic is free for citizens and foreign persons alike.

07. Equality

Everyone is equal before the law, free from discrimination based on origin, species or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ability, or similar status.

08. Protection from being returned to danger

If you seek asylum or protection, you will not be forced back to a place where you face a credible risk of persecution, torture, or violence.

09. Access to information

You may access information held by public authorities. Only genuinely sensitive security information may be withheld.

10. Freedom of movement

You may move freely within the Republic, choose where to live, and leave and return, subject to lawful travel and immigration rules.

11. Family life

You have the right to marry, raise a family, and be free from arbitrary interference in your family life.

12. Assembly & Association

You may gather peacefully and form or join groups, unions, and associations.

13. Property

You may own property and cannot be deprived of it arbitrarily; any expropriation for public use requires due process and fair compensation.

14. Education & Culture

You have access to education and the right to take part in cultural and scientific life.

15. Fair work

You are entitled to fair wages, safe conditions, and freely chosen work.

16. Legal & Consular help

Foreign persons may seek legal assistance and contact their home consulate or mission, including if detained.

Aditional rights of citizens

Citizens of the Republic hold the rights above/on the left, plus these: 

01. A voice in government

Citizens may vote, stand for public office, and take part in public affairs.

02. Social security

Citizens are supported in cases of unemployment, disability, old age, and comparable need.

03. The right to bear arms

Citizens may own and carry weapons after passing routine physical and mental fitness checks. This right does not apply to those with a history of violent crime, those under investigation for such crime, or during a declared state of emergency.

When rights can - and cannot - be limited

Rights may be limited only by law, only as far as genuinely necessary, and never in a way that destroys the heart of the right itself.

Some rights can never be suspended, under any circumstance — including war, emergency, or martial law:

  • the right to life, against arbitrary killing;
  • freedom from torture and inhuman treatment;
  • the core of the right to a fair trial; and
  • protection from being returned to danger.

If your rights are breached

Denebolian law is enforced by the Republic's own institutions, and the courts are independent. If you are denied a right, or a decision goes against you in matters such as residency, asylum, or citizenship, you have the right to appeal and, where the law allows, to have the decision reviewed by a court.
