"International human rights law, both as a framework and an enshrinement of rights and freedoms that are inherent in all of us by virtue of our very being, must be accessible and admit no acts of gatekeeping. As an enunciation of truth, it must be a tool of empowerment against all the injustices and cruelty that overtime have ever found justification in laws and structures. While there are rules and parameters that must be observed in its implementation, international human rights law should be learned, understood and practiced with this goal in mind-an empowered people able to realize and enjoy their rights and liberties, a society that uplifts, protects, and capacitates others who for any reason are unable to realize their own, and a democratic structure that checks itself and holds its own against authors of abuses and perpetrators of oppression."
