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.
