Poonte bro, Very well written, very welkl argued, but as always, I beg to differ. 1. You foucs more on political rights, not on subsistence rights. You assuem that political rights include subsistence rights and or both are detachable. I disagree. I believe these two righst can be detached. 2. If political rights were the preconditions for having a healthy, equal society/egalitarian(?) then how do you view singapore's progress? 3.YOu did not include the disagreements among the third world countries with the UN declaration and their own regional agreements that follow more holistic appraoch than the individualistic appraoch of the UN declaratuion and also puts a high emphasis on subsistence rights. I will greatly benifit from your reply because I have a paper due on this soon.
