The UN Charter doesn't change from country to country or religion to religion. It is stated quite clearly what freedoms were are suppose to be afforded.
The funny point about this is that I acutally agree with you on this issue. I don't think it's right how they live their lives there. The point I'm trying to make is that rule of law and rule of god (or improper teaching of god) and how people place that in their head is a big part of the problem. Rules won't change until they are addressed in manner that speaks to everyone appropriately.
The big deal is "rights of the individual" and the use of the ambiguous term "freedom". Like Lanny said, it means something different to everyone, and shouldn't be thrown around as an aspiration or achievable goal. It's all about appoaching implementation of human rights in context.
