Human Right # 14

ARTICLE 14 OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS DOCTRINE STATES:

First, that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum, free from persecution.

And second, that this right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes, or acts contrary to the prerogative of the UN.

All over, this right is being abused.
