Basic human rights are aimed at public institutions, and, for the well-being of the individual, the power of these institutions should not be unlimited. For obvious reasons, rights tie the hands of authorities. In order to protect the rights of victims of terror, states must struggle with those who use civil liberties to attack innocent civilians. There may be extraordinary temptations for state units to implement harmful selectivity which may abuse the fundamental rights of certain groups. Due to such selectivity Europeans often seem to forget that immigrants and refugees who are fleeing to Europe because of the experience of violence in their home countries, are human rights holders as well.
