Henry McDonald adds his voice to the debate on Human Rights, asserting that the arguments behind the concept of group rights, if accepted, are likely to supplant the rights of the individual:
“…if the ‘groups’ rights’ brigade get their way then everyone living in Northern Ireland will be marked at birth, that their rights and freedoms will be measured on the lines of which church they were baptised in, where they went to school and where they now reside. Moreover, if individualism is lost then the struggle for human rights will be transformed into a resource war between competing communities.”
