Group rights are the rights held by a group rather than by its members separately, or rights held only by individuals within the specified group; contrast with individual rights. Group rights are not straightforwardly human rights because they are group-differentiated rather than universal to all people just by virtue of being human. Group rights have historically been used both to infringe upon and to facilitate individual rights, and the concept remains controversial. The term group rights may also be used to describe peoples' rights, a legal concept best known in the context of indigenous rights as established in the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
