Sorry to disappoint you, but these laws are the basic rights of the UN Human rights charter, but you should remove the word 'death'... The charter clearly states that people are free to exercice these rights...
p.s : Is there a country where you get the death penalty for leaving that country (without comitting a crime of course...)?
I understand your point of view, but i think we only differ on the priorities given to international law... The most important thing about international law currently is that a state is sovereign, whatever happens within its borders. This supercedes everything, even the Human Rights charter - i would not reverse this, as there would always be intervention in the world. There should be a compromise, and a point where the UN says - ok, enough violations of basic rights, we're goig in...
We also have different opinion regarding the scope of intervention, free pess, or a way of thinking is not enough of a reason to intervene...
Just a question, if the USSR was not powerful during the Cold War, you are saying we should have acted against that country?
