The previous poster has not referred to a backdoor, but to the fact that in certain places, including USA, law enforcement can request from you the decryption key, and if you do not comply they can throw you in jail for an indefinite time, until you comply. In my opinion, as someone who has been born and raised in a country occupied by external invaders, who had installed there a fake communist "democracy" and fake justice, the most fundamental human right is the right to refuse to answer to a question, regardless who asks the question. If in a country such a refuse is sufficient for severe punishments, without the need of any other proof that the one refusing to answer has done anything wrong, then, regardless if such a refuse to answer is labeled "obstruction of justice", "contempt of court" or whatever, in that country any claims that human rights were respected are false. It is a shame for the United Nations that this most important human right is not included in their declaration. In order to be able to oppose an abusive government, the right to refuse to answer a question is much more important than the right to possess weapons (which will always be inferior to those of law enforcement and military, so they are not a solution).
