Yes i have in countless posts. Human rights are rights that do not contradict other rights in any society regardless of size or wealth. That is the only definition that makes sense to me that doesnt reduce rights down to things that simply would be nice to have In society.
nothing wrong with doing that. Its what the UN have done. But it removes the objective nature of a right and therefore their power as a concept. Its why many academics now say that human rights are an imaginary construct. Cos thats what the UN has reduced it to. It enables right wingers to reject the concept of humam rights. I however believe rights are an objective reality.
Have you ever put a band-aid on someone else?
