You mention every human rights issue EXCEPT the biggest one of all. How many human rights issues of our day claim 46 million lives annually? How many issues have the legal approval of nearly all western countries at this stage? And what is the priority in human rights issues? Obviously you would agree that the taking of human life is the greatest deprivation of one's rights. Yet why is the first thing that comes to mind Guantanamo bay? Good grief Mike.
