The (God-given?) Human Rights Delusion

"Around 3,000 blank passports ... were stolen" from an unlocked van, according to today's The Daily Telegraph, page 13.
This does not just mean that 3,000 more foreign and Commonwealth people will be able to occupy the UK. Once they have established their apparent "legal" credentials they will be able to bring in their families. There is no limit.
The new citizens will doubtless mostly be men, but the attempt (in 1979) to change the law so as to prevent women from bringing in their husbands or fiancees was prevented from being implemented because of the Council of Europe and its interpretation of human rights.
At the same time - 1982 and 1985 - Japan changed its law (doubtless under foreign pressure - gaiatsu is a word not infrequently used in policial circles) to enable foreign men to live and work in Japan through marriage.
This gives the impression that some kind of equality has been achieved.
But Japan is not the UK, though there are many similarities. Including the fact that many foreigners want to settle there.
Japanese passports are highly desirable, but they are not stolen or forged to enable Asians to live in Japan. Rather they are used to enable them to enter other countries. This is largely because the Japanese language provides a form of protection to uncover false identities.
By far the largest country in the world is Russia, but her passports are not in such demand as the UK's.
In short, the UK's problems, while they may be similar to elsewhere, are peculiar to herself. As such, they require specific solutions - not superficial comparisons.
A country that can send its soldiers to get killed in distant lands while allowing the occupation of its own is deluded as to what is good and right. Likewise the European Commission of Human Rights which determined in favour of three women whose husbands were not allowed to live in the UK. That was on 11 May 1982 when British servicemen were fighting to regain the Falkland Islands.
