Interesting article by Thorsten Overgaard. I had never actually read these 30 rights as listed and it struck me how closely associated these are with photography. IMO, this is cool.

The most important right is missing, to bear arms.

Or the right to arm bears?
Looks like few on RFF give a rats about human rights... okay... back to gear talk.

No, not really, this is an Off Topic forum, so, how many of YOU know the history of human rights?
Or even what they are? How many are there?
Go here and you will find some very interesting videos explaining human rights:

No human right, none, can be enjoyed without security / weapons.
As in Libya, Syria and so on. Your rights are only as safe as your ability
to protect them. Even Neanderthals understood this.

Excellent list, Dave Lackey. Other less fundamental rights including "the right to bear arms" can be derived.

While I agree that you need to have the ability to protect your rights, I don't believe that weapons are necessarily a "human right". The right to bear arms is certainly a constitutional ( in the US, anyway) right, and I wouldn't advocate taking it away, but as far as a human right? I'm not too sure.
I like woodphoto's three biggies much better.

No, the right to bear arms isn't a human right, but the right to protect yourself and your loved ones by any means necessary is. IMO
Governments don't heavily advocate these rights because these rights limit a govt's ability to govern the way they want.

To carry weapons is no human right. To live in a society with law & order is. To refuse to kill is actually a human right. To defend your country, is a right according to international law.

The rights listed on that page have one major flaw: If you violate someone else's rights, you may, WITH DUE PROCESS, lose your rights. Most of those rights need the addendum "without due process." You can't force someone into slavery "without due process," i.e.: make them spend 20 years in the license plate shop at Auburn (That's a rather nasty maximum-security prison in upstate New York, for those who don't know) without convicting them in a court of law.
I also feel the right to keep and bear arms should be on the list. Look at the difference between Libya and Syria... one has a huge black-market arms trade, the other doesn't. The Libyans have beaten Qadaffi, the Syrians are being slaughtered.
