  1. freedom to ignore U.N. ordered deadlines for 13 years,  without fear of military action by the U.N.


  2. I've never heard it distilled down to 5 before. When people talk about rights recognized by the UN, they usually start with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It's a non-binding document but has significantly influenced other human rights treaties and also national laws.

  3. To start: Freedom of Speech

  4. It doesn't matter  george W Bush has nullified the United nations and made America a laughing stock

    Alos nullified the Geneva Conventions   and supposed christians are for this guy?

  5. The freedoms of speech, press, and religion; the people's right to keep and bear arms; the freedom of assembly; the freedom to petition; and the rights to be free of unreasonable search and seizure; cruel and unusual punishment; and compelled self-incrimination. The Bill of Rights also restricts Congress' power by prohibiting it from making any law respecting establishment of religion and by prohibiting the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. In criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime," guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial and local jury, and prohibits double jeopardy.

  6. Political (Participative) Freedoms, Economic Facilities, Social Opportunities, Transparency Guarantees and Protective Security

    Expanded:  The state can ensure development through five basic freedoms as follows:  (1) Political freedom through the non- criminalization of politics, (2) Economic facilities through creation of employment and production opportunities, (3) Social opportunities though betterment in education and health facilities, (4) Transparency in the bureaucracy through good and accountable governance, (5) Security through protection from the criminal elements.

    Depends on the context of what you're looking for.  "Five Freedoms" is a catch phrase at the United Nations.

  7. Maybe this link could help

    There are three freedoms mentioned there:

    * Freedom from want

    * Freedom from fear

    * Freedom to live in dignity

    If there are to be 5 freedoms, I think you would also need the two core freedoms of liberalism:

    * Freedom of thought (including freedom of religion)

    * Freedom of expression (including freedom of speech)

    You may refer to the "four freedoms":

    Personally, I assume the following 5 freedoms (in my vision for liberalism):

    * Freedom of thought (and religion)

    * Freedom of expression (and speech)

    * Freedom of assembly (which includes having law made by the people for the people)

    * Freedom of chance (which encompasses the freedom from want, freedom from fear and freedom to live in dignity)

    * Freedom of action with respect for all other freedoms (and thus also the law)

  8. Why don't muslims abide by these rules of the United Nations and why doesn't the United Nations condem these murderers for not going with the flow?
