"Divina Frau-Meigs, who teaches at the University of Paris III (Universit? de la Sorbonne Nouvelle), called for 'setting up a culture whereby you can use your own language, and that will be considered part of your human rights.'"

"human rights"?

I would be nice to have DNS working in foreign languages, but I really don't see how it becomes a basic right.

AFAIK, the basic rights are usually considered to be stuff like life and liberty. Big, broad concepts that apply to all humans.
