Abstract
This article defines status-differentiated rights and identifies examples from international principles, declarations, and conventions. Drawing on the work of Peter Jones and Will Kymlicka, status-differentiated rights are compared and contrasted to group and group-differentiated rights. Using Jack Donnelly's three-tiered scheme of substance-interpretation-implementation, the article also demonstrates how status-differentiated rights complicate the equal-special rights binary; this is because some rights are status undifferentiated at one level, yet status differentiated at another. This article concludes that addressing the diverse harms faced by (members of) vulnerable status groups requires both “ordinary” human rights and status-differentiated rights.
