Governments do not grant these rights. good governments protect them. abhorrent governments try to repress them. In the absence of a representative government. a human being can move freely and choose the country in which he wants to live. But.

He conveniently neglects the fact that his government has signed the universal declaration of human rights and the Helsinki accords. both of which affirm the basic human rights to free emigration. Just what is a Soviet signature worth anyway?
