Instead of being interpreted as a human right itself, the right to know can instead be treated strictly as a limitation on the privacy rights of candidates for elected office. On those grounds, this case takes a court-informed approach of arguing the public’s right to know ought to be valued above the candidate’s right to privacy in the same way government-imposed limitations on human rights are justified when necessary for the maintenance of the nation’s integrity and society’s quality of life.
With quality of life as a value, this argument for the right to know fits within the LD framework. If the public’s right to know held above the candidate’s right to privacy best achieves quality of life, the restriction on privacy is considered justified for government to fulfill its national duties. Quality of life here is defined in objective terms, helping you to defend the value within the round and allowing you to use evidence to show quality of life is either being enhanced or degraded by various applications including policy measures and cases of democratic corruption. Hopefully, this case will give you a solid position in your rounds and open your mind to more approaches and perspectives on the resolution. Good luck!
