When Should You Lose Your Human Rights?

[Bonzo77 13]

Should you ever lose your human rights?

 

The European Court of Human Rights suggests that actual life sentences are a breach of human rights.

 

Do you think that certain crimes should be total life sentences, or do you think everyone deserves an appeal after 20/30 years?

[Vaati 11]

The moment you kill a human (without it being in self defence) or rape a kid is the moment you should lose your human rights. Murder should be a total life sentence. They should not deserve an appeal after 20/30 years.

Human rights are very specific, the entire point is that they should never be removed.

 

Which doesn't conflict at all with an entire life sentence if a court deems that appropriate.

I suspect the wording being used is wrong, and appeal is very different to a hearing for parole or clemency, without new evidence why would an appeal be heard?

[Mecky 10]

You shouldn't lose your human rights for anything specific. Each case should have it's own thorough review

The short answer is never.

It all depends on how you define human rights.

 

Saying that jailing someone for a full life is taking away human their rights is ridiculous, next it will be claimed that jailing them is against their human rights.

[Cyclone 10]

Technically jailing them does restrict some of the rights in the EHR declaration. As it should.

 

There are other rights though that should be inalienable and which no state has the right to remove.

If you kill someone in cold blood, rape someone or harm a child then youve proved your pretty much sub human so human rights shouldnt really apply.

As far as im concerned a whole life sentence is the only one which fits the crime.

The right to life. The right not to be tortured.

[Ash Tray 10]

The right to life.

The topic is concerned with the business regarding whole life sentences which do not take away your life, you just die of illness or old age.
