They are completely ignoring the context of this whole thread, which exists because the highest court in the land (Kenyan land, that is) has affirmed that right.
Ggp's is as absurd as a North Korean commenting on a SCOTUS ruling on the right to a fair trial by saying "This is a new human right I didn't even know I had."
The rights of particular countries' citizens aren't usually construed with 'human rights.' I believe 'human rights' is of UN origin.
The rights of US citizens, for instance, don't currently apply to the folks getting deported. It's a big controversial point, but of course the rights of the constitution aren't guaranteed to some guy in France.
Human rights aren't those.
In this case, Kenyan citizens gained a right, not humans.
> Human rights aren't those.
What are they, then? If you can name one, I'll find you a jurisdiction where that right is not respected.
Your (incorrect, IMO) definition of human rights based on the lowest common denominator whittles them down to nothing. Fundamentally I suspect what you and I are calling "human rights" is not the same thing at all.
