I do think that the Government has the absolute right in suspending human rights of their citizens and that of others when there is a national crisis.

I believe that every Government of every Nation State should have legislation to provide for such actions in times of trouble and need

if the government cannot suspend its citizen's rights, then it doesn't have much power!!!
