Self preservation as the fundamental value,

Self preservation as the fundamental value,
Everyone values his or her life, seeks to extend it. We generally fear death. The Idea of self is tied up in our choices; what we invest materially and spiritually. What we value is the conservation of the valuing; that which specifies what we desire to be. The life of each individual has preeminent value to that person since all other values, independent of beliefs about immortality, depend upon continued life. Most people are willing to shorten their life expectancies in return for goods principle they hold dear, and commitments they have made. Placing a person involuntarily at risk, such as in the military draft is justified as a necessary sacrifice for the preservation of the lives of other members of the community. We remove ourselves from the state of nature to secure our rights. Our obligations often precede our promises, as opposed to being derived from them. Since no one asks to be born, our obligations to our parents never rest entirely on promises we have made. (JOHN LOCKE)
Equality;
R.H. Tawney, “while they differ profoundly as individuals capacity and character, they are equally entitled as human beings to consideration and respect, and that the well being of a society is likely to be increased if it so plans its organization that, whether their powers are great or small, all its members may be equally enabled to make the best of such powers as they may possess.”
The ideas of equality of respect connect in a powerful way with that of self preservation. For whatever I require on my own behalf about the construction and perseveration of my own autonomy applies, if I accept the idea of equality of respect, with similar considerations on the part of others. The idea of the value of one’s person autonomy rests on the same footing as the value of the autonomy of all. The preservation of oneself and the preservation of others are of equal moral worth wherever they may be.
There is no priority among the rights, all rights must be achieved protected for a society to be just and development to be successful. Government is the ultimate guarantor of the rights. It is the duty of each person to respect the rights of all others, supported and directed by civil society. It is individuals who have the duties in the first place. It is the duty of government to see that these obligations are discharged by those with in its borders toward others within its borders. It is the duty of other governments and global civil society to assist those governments that cannot, and to sanction those governments which do not discharge the most fundamental obligations.
Duties;
1. All persons have obligations to respect the basic rights of all other persons.
2. Governments have default obligations to enforce themselves the obligations of individuals when individuals fail to discharge them.
3. The international community has the default obligations to enforce these obligations when nations fail to discharge them.
