in the political views of classical liberals and some right-libertarians, the role of the government is solely to identify, protect, and enforce the natural rights of the individual while attempting to assure just remedies for transgressions. liberal governments that respect individual rights often provide for systemic controls that protect individual rights such as a system of due process in criminal justice. without certain collective rights, for example, a cardinal principle in international law, enshrined in chapter i article i of the united nations charter, secures the right of "self-determination of "peoples"". without this group right, the "people" have no means or authority to assert the individual rights that self-determination enables the establishment of. if "people" are unable to determine their collective future, they are certainly unable to assert or ensure their individual rights, future and freedoms. in contrast to individual-collective dichotomy proposed by peterson and contemporaries, critics suggest that both are necessarily connected and intertwined, rejecting the assertion that they exist in a mutually exclusive relationship.
