Brewster Kneen points out that a demand for a right is made to an authority which is deemed to have the ability (though not necessarily the intention) to grant the right.

Such a situation is particularly poignant for those, like Indigenous peoples, for whom rights’ are secondary to responsibilities and relationships, but who nevertheless find themselves using the rights language as the only way to communicate.
