Question about #humanRights— Article 20 of the #UDHR¹ states:

“① Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

② No one may be compelled to belong to an association.”

How does that apply in the context of forced banking? If a government forces you to enter the marketplace and register for a bank account, does that qualify as being compelled to belong to an association?

    Covid seems like a bad example because the highest human right is the right to live & the right to healthcare. When multiple human rights are in conflict you can only expect there to be winners and losers. Thus it’s not an example of human rights being put on hold but rather a case of one human right trumping another.

    A bad example doesn’t defeat your point, but in this case you’re talking about expectation that human rights violations face enforcement. That’s an interesting discussion for sure but I’m just at the stage of trying to figure out if I’m correctly interpreting Article 20.
