The German basic law has a principle I like - Your freedoms end where they start to impinge on others'.

I think the thing to note here is that criminals are only restricted in the rights they need to be in order to protect others'.

And the declaration of human rights is very much a "this is the perfect world"-thing. It has democracy as a right, for example, which some countries still do not have.
