Not debating whether or not it is a right but the UN isn't the world's moral authority.

I view them as an un-elected advisory group.



No, but China does recognize it as a human right since it has ratified the declaration and they enjoy permanent membership on the Security Council (after having gotten that position from Taiwan, and they did it under the condition that they would uphold their decisions).

I posit that breaking the very morals you believe in yourself, and lying about it, is immoral.


In that case you can't say if someone is or isn't a moral right. Its up to opinion and its easy to see how many people consider it a moral right.
