It would have to be defined according to the event. For example, it was a violation of a country's sovereignty and human rights for Israel to bomb Iraq's nuclear facilities, twice. It is a violation of the Palestinian's human rights to not be allowed to return to their property, because Israel claims it would destroy the fabric of the "Jewish" State, yet by creating the "Jewish" State, that event destroyed the fabric of the Palestinians culture, (including Palestinian Jews). Slavery in the Southern United States was a violation as was Apartheid in South Africa. It is a violation of human rights for women not to be considered equal citizens in a country, especially in ours.* Perhaps the terrorists of September 11 th were defending the American woman's right to an abortion or their demands for equal pay for equal work, much like the American media is sooo* concerned about the plight of the Afghani women. LOL

Re: Human rights A wise man captured the concept in these words 225 years ago: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. They've served well since then.
