From the trial of Kashoggi to the crimes of Haftar in Libya; I think such a section would benefit the discussions here.
I guess I would welcome it because I have so much questions for you. Like considering that you are already talking about laws in your country, I would like to know more about them. Like what are the laws for killing non-muslims in your country? Let's say if you were to kill a Jew would you be persecuted by law or would you be set free and maybe even awarded?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you're so concerned about off-topic posts, why do you only bring it up in threads you've started? I know the answer, just want to see if you do.
Back to the OP: I don't think a specific section for Human Rights is necessary. I don't see how it would benefit discussions. Members are already able to bring up human rights issues in appropriate fora and subfora.
I suggest you add a poll and get a feeling as to how much support this idea has from the general membership. This might go a long way toward helping your case - if you can show Admin that a majority of the members would like to see that forum added, you'll have a better chance of success.

I like your opinion regarding the op. Adding a poll would've been a decisive addition to the whole voting thing; but I can't add one since posts can't be edited after a certain time.
Thank you for your suggestion.
It isn’t too late to post a poll - you can simply start another thread and put your poll there. I promise not to report you for spamming.
As a further suggestion, if you do decide to create a poll, you should probably tag it [Serious].
Good luck.

Good luck to you too, but I don't think it is needed to fill the forum with repeated posts; I'm sure the management can read through the topic.
