UN Wants Basic Rights: Revolutionary or Just Tuesday?
This week, in a shockingly unsurprising move, they’re pushing for a U.N. treaty to safeguard people’s 'basic rights.' Because apparently, we need formal international paperwork to remind the world that yes, humans should actually be treated like humans. Quoting directly: 'This week, they’re advocating for a U.N. treaty to safeguard people’s basic rights.' It’s like insisting we all wear seatbelts in the global car crash that is human rights enforcement—better late than never, I suppose.
