Public Policy and Human Rights
The human being at international law is collectively referred to as “humankind” encompassing all members of the human species as a whole, and it is in this context that the aviation perspective should look at the people affected by it both as a whole and in the singular context of the passenger carried by air. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations recognizes the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world, and provides that everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state and everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. The Declaration also provides that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person, implying that such rights should not be arbitrarily taken away by any means.
