I propose a pragmatic definition based on human system dynamics: The fundamental Human Right is the freedom to choose for myself what is good. The fundamental Human Responsibility is the duty to choose for myself what is good. That is, the underlying premise is that we have incomplete knowledge, and that the system as a whole will evolve forward the better people are are at a) choosing what they believe is best, and b) evaluating the consequences of each others' choices.
