Right to equality

Japanese: 平等権 - びょうどうけん
Right to equality
The right to be free from discrimination in national politics in the enjoyment of rights and freedoms, and the burden of obligations. Therefore, this is the case when the principle of equality under the law guaranteed by the Constitution of Japan (Article 14, paragraph 1) is recognized as an individual right. This right to equality has generally been interpreted in its essence as a freedom right to eliminate unequal treatment by public authorities, but if one takes the view that strictly demands equality in results, the right to equality also has the character of a beneficiary right that demands the correction of inequalities that actually exist in society from public authorities, and is currently generally understood in this dualistic way.

Japanese:
権利,自由の享有や義務の負担について,国政上差別されないという権利。したがって,日本国憲法が保障する法のもとの平等の原則 (14条1項) を,個人の権利として認識した場合のものである。この平等権は,従来一般に,公権力による不平等な取扱いを排除する自由権であるところにその本質があると解されてきているが,結果における平等をきびしく要求する見解に徹した場合には,平等権は社会に事実上存在する不平等の是正を公権力に対して要求する受益権の性格も併有することになり,現在では一般にこのように二元的に理解されている。
