You Have No Right To Defend Yourself.

At least, that's the belief of the United Nations. David Kopel, Paul Gallant and Joanne D. Eisen respond in this excellent article that individual self-defense is not only a human right, it is the most basic of all human rights. I agree.

The article is long and legalistic (it's from a law review journal), but it is today's required reading.
