Coming from the one liner king who couldnt defend his own position to save his life Ill take that as a compliment.

To address your view on the unlimited right of property, you should bother to delve into the intent and application of the clauses you have highlighted.

an explanation of the UN UDoHR...

Protection of Property

The right to property is included in the original human rights ideas of the liberal ideology. It is also written down in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but due to political disagreement, it was excluded from the UN's general human right covenants of the year 1966.

In the European system of human rights protection, the right to property was included in the first Protocol of the European Human Rights Convention. This protects every person's right to enjoy his property and prohibits arbitrary deprivation of property. "Public interest" however gives a right to expropriation, and "in accordance with the general interest" the use of property can be legally controlled.

Protection of property is an area where universal or European thought on human rights does not include more far-reaching demands than the line traditionally followed in Finland. Before the reform of fundamental rights in 1995, the fundamental rights system of the Finnish constitution was criticised for giving one fundamental right (although an important one), the right to property, too dominant a position.
