    I don’t understand why someone would post a search query as a Lemmy post, but ok. Maybe it’s a bot creating random content.

    Your question asks more about the person answering than any country. What is and isn’t a human right is debated matter many agreed upon but others are seen as archaic or political posturing. Are we talking positive and negative rights? Freedom of Contract? Right to Healthcare? A right to jury trials in civil cases? A right to selfdefense? The right to speak freely even unsavory words?

    Then you’d have to weigh one right against another. Finally you’d have to figure out if those rights are simply paper promises.

      Everyone also thinks their country has the worst human rights because “some clause buried in the constitution means you can’t eat fish on a Tuesday if you’re from X religion” or “somebody lost a court case against a corporation so they didn’t have to make Y accessible” which is room for improvement, sure, but then you’ve got places like Malaysia where you get drastically reduced rights per the constitution if you’re not both ethnically Malay and Muslim (other places with bad human rights exist, this is just a hopefully non-controversial example)
