Good beginning! Do we want to add info about the International Criminal Court to this article, as being the possibly-to-be-primary mode of enforcement? -- April


Note: I'm 24.28.70.xx and NOT 24.150.xx.xx

I can't believe the scale of insult I must have visited upon you! Very sorry for thinking you were that 24. I just jumped at the opportunity to actually be able to say something nice about this person -- Oh well, I'm still waiting for the oportunity. 12.246.119.xxx

Suggestion for 24.28.70.xxx: if possible, you might want to go ahead and log in. You can have random digits or something as a nick if you wish, but at least you won't get confused for that OTHER 24 all the time. :) If you're having trouble logging in, let us know and we'll try to work out the problem.

[edit] Merging

The reason I'm suggesting a merge is that from about a year ago when I was writing the law page, I looked at what should be put as the best page to put down for the law in this field: I noticed the Human rights page was far more developed than this Human rights law page, and so I made the former the dominant link. Looking at it again, I see that nothing has developed here. Thinking on it a bit, it makes sense. When you have a right, that's only anything meaningful when it's in law, so anything that would be on a Human rights law page, would necessarily have to be treated in a thorough and detailed way in any page on a Human rights page (and vice versa). Given there is not much difference anyway between "law" and "rights" (some languages are accustomed to use the terms interchangeably, e.g. French and German) I think this page should simply redirect to what is an excellent treatment and summary on the main Human rights topic. All in favour? Wikidea 23:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

The destination article is very long, but this article could be merged successfully as it is rather short. The main concern I would have is that you thoroughly read the dest. article to avoid repeating information. Good LuckBeeblbrox (talk) 04:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
