>Do you consider the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be political?
Well yes tbh. The fact that a certain group of people in power at a certain point in history made a "universal declaration" about something says very little about whether I or anyone else should care about it or agree with it. In other words it is the epitome of political. I am happy to make up my own mind on the nature of "human rights".
If the Cairo Declaration in and of itself gives us all the building blocks that allow us to define hate-speech in a non-political way, then what was the purpose of the Rabat Plan of Action, with all its rapporteurs and its workshops on four continents? Do you believe that process was not a political process?
