When a right is not a right....
When it is the right to self-defense and the U.N. is involved.
"UN report proclaims self-defense is not a right

A report (pdf format) submitted by Barbara Frey, Special Rapporteur, whatever that is, to the UN Human Rights Councils's Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, whatever that is.
Re-reading it, I think the point is that the Special Rapper wants to class self-defense as something less than a "right" (i.e., as a manner of criminal defense) because if it were recognized as a "right" it would be something governments would be bound to guarantee -- and that leads right to Prof. Glenn Harlan Reynold's argument that a right to arms should be guaranteed as an international right."
The UN feels that our 2nd Amendment rights are not rights! I wonder what other rights the UN feels are not really rights?
