    Extractions: It has been suggested that Natural rights be merged into this article or section. ( Discuss It has been suggested that Inalienable rights be merged into this article or section. ( Discuss Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights , or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction , and likewise other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality . For many, the concept of "human rights" is based in religious principles, or else is otherwise directly related to them. However, because a formal concept of human rights has not been universally accepted, the term has some degree of variance between its use in different local jurisdictions —difference in both meaningful substance as well as in protocols for and styles of application. Ultimately the most general meaning of the term is one which can only apply universally, and hence the term "human rights" is often itself an appeal to such transcendent principle, without basing such on existing legal concepts. The term " humanism " refers to the developing doctrine of such universally applicable values, and it is on the basic concept that human beings have innate rights, that more specific local legal concepts are often based.

    Extractions: Home 13 December, 2004 EU Policy Governance EDRI welcomes the creation of a Human Rights Agency within the European Union, adopted by the Council of the European Union on December 12th 2003. With the following comments, EDRI wishes to emphasize some areas of concern in response to the current draft proposal on the creation of a Human Rights Agency of the European Union, and express its interest to contribute to the work of the Agency. The establishment of a Human Rights Agency is essential in order to create an effective instrument for hu­man rights protection and monitoring within the European Union. EDRI expects that the Agency's domains of actions and interventions will protect and promote all human rights, civil and political as well as economic, social and cultural rights, within the EU member states as well as within the EU institutions themselves. This includes an obligation to uphold the respect of the principles of democracy and the rule of law. The creation of the Agency is especially relevant at a time when, one the hand, many new EU countries are joining through the expansion of member states from 15 to 25 countries and, on the other hand, the Euro­pean legislation is extending its scope to new fields and sectors, especially those relevant to the third pillar. The Human Rights Agency should reaffirm the central role of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as other general or specific international instruments like the European Convention of Human Rights and Fun­damental Freedoms, the two international Covenants on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the 1993 Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, and the the­matic and specialized International Conventions and Treaties.

Governance On 20 April 2005 the civil liberties group Statewatch, together with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and two other NGOs launched the Campaign Against Mass Surveillance (ICAMS), calling on all national governments and intergovernmental organisations to turn away from antiterrorism efforts that are oriented around mass surveillance. The campaign started with an in-depth report on 'The emergence of a global infrastructure for registration and surveillance'. "Driven largely by the United States, a growing web of anti-terrorism and security measures are being adopted by nations around the world. This new 'security' paradigm is being used to roll back freedom and increase police powers in order to exercise increasing control over individuals and populations." The report describes 10 signposts that clearly mark the general erosion of human rights. To some extent, all of the signposts have already been realised. To another extent, the report reads like a manual for an awesome uncle of Big Brother.
