Ghana Bans All LGBTQ Activities
It does however promote certain aspects of politics to maximize the benefit of the most people, and…
But that, you seem not to realise, destroys your last hope for getting off the hook with your human rights nonsense on this issue of Ghana – because I informed you that, in your perspective, government is the be-all-end-all on rights. If you disagree, congratulations! You're not an atheist, (or at least not a logically consistent one) because you're appealing to an Authority higher than government, which must of necessity by a made-up god, or God. But you responded, to my rights comment, by saying that the United Nations opposes Ghana's actions and that it's a government – which now, after logical scrutiny, you admit, it is not. This is where the bankruptcy of your argument really becomes obvious – you can't say that homosexuality is a right without appealing to God (all other gods are fundamentally illogical) and God explicitly forbids homosexuality. In fact, you can't account for the existence of ANY right ANY government doesn't recognise without God (or the laws of logic, preconditions of intelligibility, ad infinitum. You have two logical options – (1) accept that in Ghana you do not have a right to homosexuality, because the Ghanan government banned such immoral behaviour or (2) accept the existence of God, who forbids such behaviour or (3) make up some god of your own that allows for such behaviour (which is the most irrational and laughable of the options, as a made-up god can't account for anything at all, obviously. So basically your entire position on this issue is not just wrong, but a logical impossibility. Enjoy contemplating this unsolvable dilemma!

It is a government, though it is a weak semi-confederation of governments, it has a level of governmental power in many areas. It’s like a congressional caucus in a way, it has a sort of power, but not much, and with its members, laws are upheld in many areas, including the human rights drafted and recognized by the vast majority of nations, courtesy of First Lady Roosevelt. The government serves as an enforcer of rights, and as its biggest members are representative governments, and the majority of the people in those nations agree with the creation of these rights, the people themselv… Read more

It is not a government, and it has explicitly stated that it is not a government, but an international peace keeping association that relies upon the voluntary cooperation of independent states to function.
You just said explicitly "rights are created by people and established by government," – you just renounced your right to complain about Ghana's policies. Under the UN Charter, it ha a right to "self-determination" and independence, so you as an American need to but out and mind your own business.

It is a governing body with many non-binding measures, though it is not a GOVERNMENT or a Supra-state in and of itself, the organization does have some legally binding power for its participants, closely mimicking a semi-governmental parliament/congress in the Security Council, though most of it is debate and speaking, large amounts of its purpose and action is about international connections and enforcement of bare minimum rights that can lead to rebuke and sanctions from participant nations.
First of all, the people are not just the nation, they are all the nations, agreed upon and founded… Read more

If it's not a government, it can't decide on rights
@9CJ6CB63mos3MO
It’s a parliamentary-style governing body, though not a government, it has some power. It can decide on its declaration of rights, but like senators in congress, nations must be pressured to agree by their people, or agree by themselves to recognize it.
