Human rights are a waste of time and don't guarantee personal liberties. Rights granted to the masses from on high can just as easily be taken away again by the same authority, doesn't matter what a piece of paper says. Just look at Turkey, a member state of the ECHR.
Limited government has always been, and remains to this day, the best form of protection for personal freedoms. I bet a lot of Turks would gladly swap so-called 'human rights' for a few more limitations on Erdogan's powers.
