Amendment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article V of the Constitution
-
Cllr. Shakur, the UDoHR already restricts voting rights to citizens - it states that people only have the right to take part in the governance of their own countries. As such, I do not know, nor do I understand, how any of this would lead to a 'Europe led and dominated by Reitzmag.'
That takes me to my second point.
Cllr. Shakur, never has the Constitution been interpreted in the way that you claim it will be interpreted if this amendment passes. If it were so, then technically it would already be illegal to restrict voting and property to just citizens. However, it has been interpreted in a similar way to what I have previously stated; to defend the murders of many.
What is more important, outlandish hypotheticals or reality?
That is not to say that there should be further reform to ensure a more rational interpretation of the UDoHR in the future; however, that is out of the purview of this proposed amendment.

I second what Councillor Bourgaize has had to say, and I would like to know which specific sections of the UDoHR does Councillor Shakur have reservations about extending to all people within the boundaries of the EU?
I've done a second scan through the UDoHR and I personally see no reasons to extend these to every individual located in the EU's boundaries. There is only one section which I could imagine as being perhaps somewhat questionable, which is Section XIII, Freedom of Movement. Section XIII says every person has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state. However, just having the right to the freedom of movement doesn't mean that people can move totally freely within the EU, they simply have a right to legally cross borders, if and where they can, with the legal documentation such visas, if necessary, for instance. This is already something that is afforded to every single European, so I'm not sure why it shouldn't be a right for every person located within the EU's jurisdiction.
I would just like some more specific clarity on your objections, Councillor Shakur.
