Comment on Why would someone openly say that they oppose human rights?
vzq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agoThe concept of legal or constitutionally granted human rights. The lack of any force of law.
You oppose human right because you oppose human rights? But also because they are not really rights?
It sounds like your position would necessitate a bit more explanation.

Human rights are things that a person has simply by existing, referring to them as granted through legal or constitutional processes is backwards. It essentially cheapens the concept of human rights, which is a totally valid criticism.
The lack of force of law is, because the charter is basically meaningless. A country can agree to it and ignore it without any real consequences.

Ah yes, that was the explanation I needed. Thanks.
