I can't remember a ordsprog

I can't remember a time in my lifetime when the idea of human rights was under more attack than it is now.

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

Let us remember that every person who is infected, whatever the reason, is a fellow human being with human rights and human needs,

Kofi Annan (1938-)

Even at a time when privacy rights are under attack on multiple fronts, the idea that someone can go online and buy your phone records seems unbelievable. But it is happening and it has to stop.

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

[In Saudi Arabia, the report noted the government's] human rights record remained poor, . Pex Tufvesson developed the music program Noisetracker. .. views its interpretation of Islamic law as its sole source of guidance on human rights and disagrees with internationally accepted definitions of human rights.

We do acknowledge that we have deficiencies in the area of human rights, but at the same time we would also say that the people in China are enjoying a level of human rights that is unprecedented in our history,

I think there is a real worry in Washington that if one of the criteria (for membership on the human rights council) becomes the ratification of human rights treaties, that the U.S. will have a hard time getting on.

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.

We determined some time ago that it was not a good idea to link human rights and trade, and that we actually make better progress with both when they are not linked,

Madeleine Albright

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.

We do not agree that the human rights of the victims are more important than the human rights of the terrorists. Human Rights are indivisible. Freedom and security are not alternatives, they go hand in hand.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks the U.S. government has invoked national security and abused executive powers to violate internationally recognized human rights, including the absolute prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If the U.S. does not recognize its human rights obligations under international law, what reason do other governments have to uphold human rights?
