If only the Declaration was legally binding...
- contravariant 6y agoWell, the ECHR is (for all EU members), and has a similar clause: > Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. unfortunately it also has exemptions for anything a government could reasonably use as justification to restrict this right: > There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
