Yes, I know part of my major relates to reading every damn case that goes through Strasbourg relating to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I'm not going to bore you with the law.....I mean I'll try.

First Question: Do you know what your rights are?

Of course, because, hypothetically we are all SMART people right? So smart people should know their rights and we don't need the law to tell us what we have, only what we CAN'T DO.

I know I have freedom of speech; that's why God gave me my mouth
I know I have the right to get a fair trial; cuz lawyers don't fall down from the sky like angels to help you. You pay them through your nose, and after that you can go sell your ass!

See I believe the Human Rights Act is just a common sense piece of legislation. But it was release because individuals couldn't sue the government. I'll spare you the political explanation for the above.


Now, moving on with the Organization. I admit, the United Nations have done a lot for the people but there are just some aspect of their nomination skills I can't seem to comprehend.

There are 47 sits in the Human Rights Committee. Now, when we talk about committee members, you expect someone who has a certain standard you can look up to but when you put countries like China, Saudi Arabia and Cuba inside which violates most of the Human Rights Law, it makes me wonder.

In fact, it's all too bizarre seeing representatives of these countries sitting in a round table with big banner behind written HUMAN RIGHTS CONFERENCE. I wonder what would they discuss.

China: Yeah, we found another 1 million babies buried. Didn't bother checking. Bet it was all female. But don't worry, we are over populated. Many people still can't afford tv. Couples will entertain themselves and the females will be back.

Sudan: Oh yeah, we had war and we killed 2 million people! But don't worry, we still have more people alive enough to survive another war.

Sierra Leone: We have rebels chopping off limbs of men,women and children. Don't worry, some are still alive; only with missing body parts.

They are putting KNOWN Human Rights Abuser as part of the committee to prevent crimes. It's like requesting a thief to be a policeman to catch robbers.

AND recently I found an article here. It states that "some people" are suggesting that robots too should be included in the Act and if they are included, "states will be obligated to provide full social benefits to them including income support, housing and possibly robo-healthcare to fix the machines over time."


Now tell me do you still think this whole Human Rights thing is sane?
