Absolutely everyone. Criminals, heads of state, children, men, women, Africans, Americans, Europeans, refugees, stateless persons, the unemployed, workers, bankers, persons accused of terrorist acts, charity workers, teachers, ballet dancers, astronauts…

Absolutely everyone. Criminals and heads of state are human beings too. The power of human rights is that they recognize everyone as equal in terms of possession of human dignity. Someone may at times violate someone’s rights or become a threat to society, and so it may be necessary to limit the rights of such people in one way or another in order to protect the rights of others, but only within certain limits. These limits are defined as the minimum necessary to preserve human dignity.
