We all know that provision was put into the Human Rights Charter by communist countries that guaranteed employment (specifically, the Soviet Union). There is no right to work, any more than there is a right to live to 110, or a right to never get sick, or a right to live on a tropical island. However, the state shouldn't have a right to keep someone from working in a legal occupation.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
