People tend to forget their duties but remember their rights.
To Anti Money Laundering: That's because people have rights (though they so often misconstru what those rights are), but they DON'T have duties. They have chosen obligations, from the choice to deal with others. The basic of those is to respect others' rights, which are the same rights that everybody has. But, no given person HAS to deal with anybody if he doesn't want to. People choose their obligations, and whether or not they even have any obligations.
