A phone or a computer is not a basic human need. But even then, maybe let's use the EU to provide open phones instead of destroying the only thing available?

My country's constitution nor the EU have such claims anywhere. The UN can say whatever it wants, it's not an authority here.

What would count as basic human needs, according to your country’s constitution?

That's what I said, it's not an authority here, neither for me or my government.

People are totally cut off from modern society without some kind of phone or computer. I’m not sure you can say they are not a basic human need.
