Why do you think it is crucial, or not, to fight for the rights of people you've never met?

I belive the UN has a very good idea of what exactly human rights are. But they are terrible at enforcing them especially in the middle east.

 @9JFTP58Socialist from Maine agreed…4mos4MO

The UN is generally a very loose organization, that sees itself as this great enforcer of justice and human rights. But the US and the greedy European countries contribute to it's failures, since it rarely gets authorized to move in. And if it does, it barely does a change. Simply because the US and European country's political interests are the main motivator, and not the protection of human lives.

Well that’s mostly because it’s not strong and independent, it’s not a fully global body either. It’s “military” is built off of volunteers, and they’re poorly trained or unruly at best.

 @9JJNQ9BRepublican from Michigan disagreed…4mos4MO

I'm not sure about the UN but everyone should get the rights we have all agreed to have regardless of who they are or what they've done.

Because they are still people at the end of the day. We all have the same bones in our body. They’re human.

 @9JH4BPS from Illinois agreed…4mos4MO

they could come from a different country and they could need help trying to make a better living for themselves
