Home Affairs and Justice

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way because he has made precisely the point under discussion. He clearly understands the importance of the universal declaration as Eleanor Roosevelt championed it—that is, precisely in the wake of the holocaust and the genocide, no society should ever again be able to take some of its own citizens and say, ““You do not have rights that the rest of us have.”” That is why it is so dangerous to talk about British rights when we should be talking about human rights.
