<DIV>The essence is that one can not take away a right from someone that
represents a (monetary) value (well, there are exceptions, such as taxes and
fines, see art. 1 of the first protocol to the ECHR). And I repeat: the European
Court of Human Rights can enforce the ECHR. All Council of Europe member states
participate, even Russia. Only Belarus does not participate - perhaps you could
cooperate with president Lukachenko? <BR></DIV>

the ECHR, as far as I can see. Again, please distinguish between
<EM>recognising</EM> rights and <EM>respecting</EM> rights. The UDHR provision
you referred to earlier is about <EM>recognising</EM> rights. The ECHR
provision I quoted is about <EM>respecting</EM> rights.
Obviously, respecting a right is not an issue if the right is not
recognised.</FONT></DIV>
