There is only ONE “version” of human rights. I think you’re mistaking ‘opinion’ with ‘rights enshrined in Law’.

I’m a Paralegal, not a solicitor so I don’t get to make that call. If there’s a scenario that you mention out there and said murderer can demonstrate his human rights have been breached then a solicitor can represent him in court.
Solicitors (and indeed Paralegals at my level as well as pretty much anyone working for a Law firm) are ‘officers of the Court’ and duty bound to defend the Law. We work for The Crown.
The very same people who would rigorously defend YOU if you were unfairly accused of a crime or had your human rights breached.
