绝对权为可对特定法益直接支配的权利，绝对权的效力能对抗不特定的一般人，和相对权仅能向特定人请求作为或不作为不同，故又称对世权。物权、人格权、无体财产权等、身分权、所有权皆属之。

Erga omnes is a Latin phrase which means "towards all" or "towards everyone". In legal terminology, erga omnes rights or obligations are owed toward all. For instance a property right is an erga omnes entitlement, and therefore enforceable against anybody infringing that right. An erga omnes right (a statutory right) can here be distinguished from a right based on contract, unenforceable except against the contracting party.
