    Human rights are things that a person has simply by existing, referring to them as granted through legal or constitutional processes is backwards. It essentially cheapens the concept of human rights, which is a totally valid criticism.

    The lack of force of law is, because the charter is basically meaningless. A country can agree to it and ignore it without any real consequences.

      Ah yes, that was the explanation I needed. Thanks.
