    There are also specific articles in the universal declaration of human rights that I think are wrong

    Do you mind saying which ones?

      Not OP, but there’s a handful of things that can be found problematic dependingon your beliefs.

      • The concept of legal or constitutionally granted human rights.
      • The right to a minimum standard of living.
      • That these rights exist so long as they are used in ways approved by the United Nations.
      • The right to a nationality, enshrines the concept of a nation as a human right.
      • Predominantly western influence in terms of inclusion, exclusion, and language.
      • The lack of any force of law.

        The 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 you also oppose them 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.
