This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on John Stuart Mill's work Utilitarianism, specifically on chapter 5, where he discusses the relationship between justice and utility. In doing so, he addresses some common criticisms of utilitarianism moral theory.

Amazing synthesis of many hard and seemingly discrete ideas in chapter 5 of utilitarianism. I'm writing an essay on the intersection of utility and justice and this was so helpful.

how to exactly understand human rights according to utilitarianism, because when I read, I understood that a person has his moral rights, which society must respect, but how does it appear, for example, in The trolly problem? at first it seems that you should pull the train lever and by sacrificing 1 life you will save more, but doesn't that person have the right to life according to the same utilitarianism and is this justifiable?

Well, as you're describing it, that's NOT "utilitarianism". They're misusing the term by applying it to considering only the present utility, and not the common good
