Abstract
In my paper “Rättighetsbegreppet” (1963) I adopted the view that a right often is (or can be conceived as) a relation which one party has to another in respect of a state of affairs. Rights can be of different types; for example, claim, power, or immunity. When a person X, for instance, has a claim to recover what he has lent to Y, this can be understood as X’s having a rights-relation of type claim to Y in respect of the state of affairs that X receives from Y what he has lent to Y.
