What are your views on human rights?
The aspirations of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) are good. However, just like the Bible, there are good and bad interpretations of the ECHR, depending upon the flavour of the month.
We need to distinguish human rights from civil rights: one cannot lose human rights but one may lose civil rights. Our Manifesto on Law and Home Affairs says: “We agree that the prison population should be treated with dignity as humans beings. However we also recognise that some crimes forfeit rights to a varying degree, such as freedom of movement, to chose one’s social relationships, to vote, etc. The right to make amends to victims and society, and to have assistance to reform, which includes access to Christian counselling, are basic human rights which should be always available and encouraged.”
We need to balance rights with responsibilities. For every right there is a corresponding responsibility. We need to balance one right against other rights. Evolutionists blur human rights and animal rights, which does not help clarity. Dumbing down of our society prevents people using and understanding our own language. Interpretation is a skill, and making laws requires a chess player’s brain to see the implications of changing laws. However, our law-makers are not chess players.
Until society stops social abortion, our society has decided human rights are relative. Our society simply changes its tick list from one generation to the next.
There is no problem with human rights. The problem is humans who change their minds about human rights and confuse them with other rights.
