Unless what he said resulted in direct abuses of the person from other people, I can't think of what he could say about a person that could possibly constitute a human rights violation.

Singling out the child wasn't in the child's best interests. There's article 16, which is the right to privacy; article 19 which is about protection from harm.

Perhaps someone can find the court documents so we can see which human right they say was being violated.
