I'm pretty sure privacy is not considered a basic human right. For that matter, neither is freedom from water boarding, so YMMV.

- vacri 11y agoWaterboarding definitely is, according to the American Convention on Human Rights, to which the US is a signatory: http://www.oas.org/dil/treaties_B-32_American_Convention_on_Human_Rights.htm http://www.oas.org/dil/treaties_B-32_American_Convention_on_... It's article 5.2, sandwiched in-between 'you have the right not to be murdered' and 'you have the right not to be enslaved'. Article 11 is fairly wishy-washy, but it states that privacy is also considered a human right.
