In this paper, we raise two points. First, any rights-based theory should provide a method by which to guide reasoning in addressing conflicts of rights. The reason, we argue, is that these theories must provide guidance on what should be done. Second, this method must contain two key recommendations: (1) We should try to find a deliberative mechanism through which none of the rights is simply eliminated from the scene; (2) these rights may be balanced against each other to define which right should prevail, but without considering non-rights-interests as if they were rights in the process. These recommendations instantiate two crucial principles that underlie our common intuitions on rights, namely, the principle that rights deserve equal respect and the principle that rights should be taken seriously.

权利冲突与行动指导

在本文中，我们提出两点。首先，任何以权利为基础的理论都应该提供一种方法来指导解决权利冲突的推理。我们认为，原因在于这些理论必须为应该做什么提供指导。第二，这个方法必须包含两个关键建议：（1）我们应该尝试找到一种协商机制，通过这种机制，任何权利都不会被简单地淘汰出局；(2) 这些权利可以相互平衡以定义应优先考虑的权利，但在此过程中不考虑非权利利益，就好像它们是权利一样。这些建议举例说明了构成我们对权利的共同直觉的两个重要原则，即权利应得到平等尊重的原则和权利应得到认真对待的原则。
