Negative vs. Positive Rights http://www.globalization101.org/negative-vs-positive-rights/

Philosophers and political theorists make a distinction between negative and positive rights. A negative right is a right not to be subjected to an action of another person or group; negative rights permit or oblige inaction. A positive right is a right to be subjected to an action or another person or group; positive rights permit or oblige action. In relation to the three generations of human rights, negative rights are often associated with the first generation while positive rights are associated with the second and third generations.

A positive right is a right to something, a claim. This may be a social (right to education) or political (right to vote) right. A negative right is a right against interference, a defense. ... All others have to do is not act upon you or your property to ensure your negative rights.Jun 29, 2017

A negative right is a right not to be subjected to an action of another person or group; negative rights permit or oblige inaction. A positive right is a right to be subjected to an action or another person or group; positive rights permit or oblige action.

What's the difference between negative rights and positive rights? https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/20478/what-is-the-difference-between-negative-rights-and-positive-rights

According to Prof. Aeon Skoble

A positive right requires others to provide you with either a good or service.

A negative right only requires others to abstain from interfering with your actions.

They can co-exist in this way : If we believe in negative rights, we can have positive rights as long as it is grounded in a consensual arrangement.
