Does a woman have a human right to resist rape or murder? Do people have a human right to resist tyranny? The United Nations Human Rights Council has said “no”—that international law recognizes no human right of self-defense. To the contrary, the Human Rights Council declares that very severe gun control—more restrictive than even the laws of New York City--is a human right.
Dave Kopel, Joanne Eisen and Paul Gallant present a history of international law dealing with the right of self defense, and conclude that it "is a widely-recognized human right which no government and no international body have the authority to abrogate."
