    No, human rights don’t exist. It only exists in your head. Do Palestinians have human rights? If so, where are the acute sanctions on Israel? They don’t exist. Human rights have its origins in the Christian religion, which most of the developed world consists of Christianized people. You can go to any Western country today, and still see the Christian cathedrals and churches. The past shapes the future. It is Western countries who perpetuate this. Therefore, it is culturally contingent. Again, what is a human right? Freedom of speech, right to private property, right to money, right to healthcare, right to water, and food? You’re making a belief, and opinion, as if it is a real thing. You drew no lesson from 20 years occupation of Western powers in Afghanistan. Likewise, you don’t understand the world.

        You just proved certain countries have laws regarding human rights. That is all. Saying that a death row inmate should not face execution because it is a criminal’s right to human life is an opinion. There is no rational basis for such reverence.

          Look, whether you choose to believe in the existence of Human Rights or not is irrelevant to the conversation at hand. Qatar are not arguing over whether Human Rights exist, they are stating they don’t want to conform to them as part of this EU law.
