The topic of Chechnya ordsprog

The topic of Chechnya is a very delicate one, ... With this state visit we have to give attention to the fact that we are concerned about human rights and concerned about human rights activists, and the way they are treated.

Jan Peter Balkenende

The government is really mixed up about this, to detain all the human rights activists during the visit of the human rights commissioner.

We are concerned and remain concerned that the (Uzbek) government is trying to silence human rights activists and media [with] intimidation as well as arrests. I think our views on freedom of speech are well known, so these are very troubling matters, very concerning for us.

We have to get used to this because it seems that human rights activists and dissidents are not well liked by governments, especially those that maintain their nation's human rights in the appalling situation that Cuba does.

Elizardo Sanchez

Many of these activists are defending human rights. The authorities must ensure that they are able to continue with their peaceful activities without fear of arbitrary detention, harassment or other human rights violations.

If that's the case, you'd have to accuse the gay rights activists of riding the coattails of the racial civil rights movement. It's a human rights effort. We are going to use civil rights as an issue that's valuable to us.

Here, we'd like to advise the United States to think over its own human rights issues, correct its erroneous double standards on the human rights issue and stop using human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

It appears to be based more on a political agenda than facts. The United States does more than any country in the world to advance freedom and promote human rights. … The focus should be more on those who are violating human rights and denying people their human rights.

Scott McClellan

I'll accuse the prosecutor of violating human rights in Turkey, of neglecting and misusing his position and violating the Turkish Constitution. Turkey needs better human rights so its citizens can be treated like human beings. That's what we're fighting for.

As I am today, I was concerned about human rights, and I was concerned about the well-being of the working people of this country,

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

[In Saudi Arabia, the report noted the government's] human rights record remained poor, ... views its interpretation of Islamic law as its sole source of guidance on human rights and disagrees with internationally accepted definitions of human rights. He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room.

It now appears that the last thing many human rights groups really wanted was a thoroughly reformed human rights body at the U.N. - meaning an organization dominated by strong democracies. That would deprive them of an international forum in which to criticize America for its alleged global assault on human rights.

Creating false distinctions between human rights and property rights plays into the hands of Democrat and Republican Party socialists who seek to control our lives. If we buy into the notion that somehow property rights are less important, or are in conflict with, human or civil rights, we give the socialists a freer hand to attack our property.

Walter Williams

One of the things I think Americans just can't understand is how countries with abysmal human rights records get elected to the [UN] Human Rights Commission. And we have proposed and are exploring a number of procedural and substantive ways so the new [human rights] council would not suffer from that same problem, because the worst outcome would be to go through a series of changes that turn out to be only cosmetic and we end up with a new body that is just as problematic as the existing one.

It's just human rights. It boils down to human rights, to us all having a share, that we all eat, that we all have covers over our head. It's just basic human rights.
