2. What is Obligation?
In the legal world, obligation means a person's necessity to participate in a specific
action. A bill, unlike an obligation, usually does not include any restrictions or penalties.
The letter or instrument by which one party witnesses the contract or agreement is often
referred to as an obligation. Obligation refers to a sealed instrument in the most technical
sense. Obligation is singularly or precisely defined in today's legal system and current
legal documents. Scholars use their own definitions based on their own legal conditions
and systems, such as that of Ethiopia's civil code.
3. Describe the relations between the concept of Human Rights and Obligation.
The right to development is an inalienable human right that entitles every human being
and all peoples to take part in, contribute to, and benefit from economic, social, cultural,
and political development that allows all human rights and fundamental freedoms to be
fully realized. An obligation is a legal or moral course of conduct that someone is
obligated to follow. Obligations are restrictions that limit one's freedom. People who are
bound by obligations have the option of acting freely. When there is a choice between
doing what is morally right and doing what is morally wrong, obligation exists.
Commitments can also be found in other normative situations, such as etiquette, social,
religious, and perhaps political obligations, where obligations are requirements that must
be met. Although certain people are obligated to carry out certain actions for other
reasons, such as tradition or social reasons, these are generally legal obligations that can
result in a penalty if they are not fulfilled.
