It is amazing to see the double standards Swedish Government have with respect to human rights. They would not even dream of restricting freedom of speech or assembly but the right to seek and enjoy asylum
does not seem to deserve the the same honor. I presume that it all boils down to the question: for whom? In reality,
Article 2 is just pretty words:
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
I know it is cynical, but sadly I think that is what matters for most people in the end. The severity of violating human rights depends on who's rights that are violated.
