- uoaei 6y agoNot when those conditions, and their enforcement, challenge basic human rights. This is ethics 101.
- DuskStar 6y agoCan you formulate a way to enforce conditions on international migration and travel that doesn't challenge what you view as "basic human rights"?
- uoaei 6y agoIs it appropriate to give human rights abuses a pass until someone can appease your kneejerk reaction for rationalization?
- DuskStar 6y agoGenerally people will accept "human rights" abuses for ends that they feel strongly enough about if there aren't alternatives. Maintaining the existence of borders as a practical construct is one of those things. So, if you want to end those "human rights" abuses, you'll need to provide alternatives.
- Bancakes 6y agoHuman rights are intangible and the few organisations that tout them concentrate on smaller countries.
