Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article affirms that political rights are universal rights and that the disfranchisement of non-nationals violates human rights. Based on conventions and recommendations signed by dozens of States, it calls for a new interpretation of articles 21, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and 25, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, recognizing political rights to non-nationals that are legal residents.

KEYWORDS: Human Rights. Political Rights. Non-nationals. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
