CHAPTER

What's the Legal Right to Human Rights?

The need for social contact is so great in our species that depriving some one of it is almost as bad as depriving them of water. In punishing people we tend to deny them standing, we deny them respect and we often deny them access to society. So too, i am arguing, you could not deny some on mineally adequate access to decent human contact. This is not something you could do to some one. You could not pump dirty air into some one's prison cell because punishments should be burdensome. It does have legal implications. But interesting is, you won't find the human right against social deprivation in the universal declaration of human rights.
