Article 10 #UDHR: "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal." Every person must face judges free from political pressure, know the charges, and be able to defend themselves in open court. #HumanRights

Article 9 #UDHR: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile." Authorities need a legal basis and due process to deprive anyone of liberty: no detention without charge, no secret prisons, no forcing people out of their country for dissent. #HumanRights

Article 8 #UDHR: "Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights..." A right that cannot be enforced is worth little: victims must be able to go to a court, be heard and obtain redress. #HumanRights

Article 7 #UDHR: "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law." The same rules apply to everyone, rich or poor, and police and courts must protect all people alike, even against incitement to discrimination. #HumanRights

Article 6 #UDHR: "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law." No one can be treated as a legal non-person: wherever you are and whatever your status, you can own property, sign contracts and go to court to defend your rights. #HumanRights

Article 5 #UDHR: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." The ban is absolute: no war or emergency can justify it. It covers police abuse and inhumane prisons, and evidence obtained by torture is never valid. #HumanRights

Article 4 #UDHR: "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms." It covers forced labour, trafficking and debt bondage: States must free victims and prosecute exploiters, never punish the trapped. #HumanRights

📜 Article 3 #UDHR: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person." It is the foundation of all other rights: no one may be arbitrarily killed, detained or threatened, and States must actively protect people from violence, whoever commits it. #HumanRights

Article 2 #UDHR: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. #HumanRights

Democratic lawmaking requires freedom of expression, genuine elections, and a legislature functional in all policy domains. This is not had by developed/western/high-income states today, per the the governance of communications intelligence in them. #udhr #intlaw

It is better for the laws to rule than one of the citizens, so that even the guardians of the laws are obeying the laws. Thereby, citizens are under not any other citizen, but under the law.

As it turns out, I am no Rawlsian, for I do not espouse applying the Rawlsian social welfare function. However, Natural Law is not for me either. #hdca all the way, people. One who doesn't understand the #hdca does not truly understand international law, so there's that. #udhr #uspolitics #cdnpoli

So there's this, on the lighter side....

1. If public reasoning is suppressed, there is not democratic law-making.

2. If there is democratic law-making, the law is a body of democratic reason.

3. I should like to respect a body of democratic reason.

Article 2: everyone is entitled to these rights without distinction of any kind. Not of race, not of religion, not of sex, not of who you love. The last of those is still argued about in a great many countries, which tells you how far there is left to go.
