Question about #humanRights— Article 20 of the #UDHR¹ states:

“① Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

② No one may be compelled to belong to an association.”

How does that apply in the context of forced banking? If a government forces you to enter the marketplace and register for a bank account, does that qualify as being compelled to belong to an association?

  • There are a dozen or so Youtube videos on Article 20. And it’s a shit-show… mostly just folks reading it aloud. Anyone who further elaborates on it only points out the well-known obvious meaning of ¶1; no ¶2 coverage.
