Note that Human Rights requires that everyone in body and cries are experienced daily by all citizens of our society . We are all obliged to respect and especially do not believe that the violation of those rights is the sole preserve of judges and judicial police officers. A husband who keeps his wife to vote violates, for example, an inalienable right of women, particularly that of his wife.
