A central tenet of human rights is that all humans have equal - TopicsExpress



          

A central tenet of human rights is that all humans have equal worth. We know that neo-conservatives such as Cameron don’t hold that view, there is an inherent, persistent strand of Social Darwinism that is clearly evident in Tory ideology, manifested in their policies, and they prefer and shape a hierarchical society founded on inequalities. Disregard and contempt for human rights has led to atrocities. Human rights are safeguards, they establish moral principles that set out certain standards of human behaviour, and they are universal, providing in principle social and legal protections for all. We need to ask why would any government want to opt out of such protections for its citizens?
