Proposal for a rewrite

An article on human rights should in my opinion contain the following elements:

  • historical origins - the American Declaration of Independence, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man etc
  • philosophical examination; do rights exist? (Bentham, Amartya Sen)
  • current legislation and case law
  • political aspects

Since the current article does not contain all of those elements, it should, in my opinion, be replaced by one that does.
