#32A
HUMAN RIGHTS
I wish for all law-abiding people: “life, liberty”, equality before the law,
legal recourse when rights or privacy are violated, presumption of innocence
until proven guilty, and the right to appeal conviction. I’d outlaw
discrimination (by race, sex, color, nationality, language, sexual orientation),
arbitrary arrest, torture, imprisonment due to poverty, inhuman treatment and
enslavement.
I’d
grant freedom— of movement, speech and creative expression (exempting what is
hateful or hurtful to society), assembly, religion, to fair compensation for
work, and to choose a
marriage partner.
