HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE
Democracy is a set of ideas and a set of practical institutional formulae for implementing ideas about how to regulate political power and how to take and justifiably enforce collective decisions. Human rights is a rather diffuse agenda concerned with the protection of different sorts of human interests, without any definite political standing.
