    Human rights are those required for human dignity and flourishing not those which are universally possessed in a world full of distress and toil.

    Freedom of speech is one such commonly understood but often denied. For instance if the content of your speech can see someone removed from the land of their birth to one where they are stateless and homeless what other rights do they possess?

      You are still not allowed to make someone stateless. That has not changed.

      You seem to be confused as to what human rights actually are, rather than what you want them to be. I suggest you look at the wiki page.

              Because it’s factually not a Human Right?

              Your opinion of what you want them to be. Doesn’t make it so.

              You have the right to a nationality. (Article 15) How you get one is up to each country. Most grant you one from either of your parents. Not the location you were born.

                    You are both pedantic and pathetic. Yes someone in danger of losing citizenship for speaking out politically and then sent to a gulag to die doesn’t have a human right to continuity of citizenship under the law
