Subject: Re: [HAB:] What makes a human right universal?
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2003 18:07:48 +0000




[The universalisable-ness of human rights is unquestionable but their
universalization will take time for the competence-performance adjustment in
social contexts.  The validity of the universals will depend on this 
adjustment,
otherwise we will be left with mere ideals.]

True! However my point is bit different. The universalisability [actual or 
ideal]  of human rights prove nothing!
