Betreff: Re: [Wp4] Merged document
I agree with one of these proposals and disagree with one.
> - add ".and other international human rights
instruments" as the UDHR does not cover all affected human rights;
I agree with this proposed addition.
> - eliminate "fundamental", as all human rights need to
be respected;
I agree with the principle of this. I disagree with the proposed execution.
I agree in so far as "fundamental" must not be used as a restrictive qualifier.
However its removal would appear to act as a restrictive qualifer, and imply that human rights adhere to natural persons alone.
We know (e.g. from Yukos -v- Russia) that legal persons also have fundamental (a.k.a. "human") rights.
And the title of one of the most influential instruments (which, I am sure is included in reference to "other international human rights instruments" is :-
"The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms".
I therefore submit that the exact phrase we should use needs to be
"fundamental AND human rights"
(in preference to "fundamental human rights").
I trust this meets with approval?
