This is not the same in other countries, also in the EU. I am a permanent resident of an EU country, but am not a citizen of that country and am only allowed to vote in council elections. My "civic obligations" however are the same as any national, I pay the same taxes, I live under the same rules. No, even more stringent, for if I were to disobey, I would not be imprisoned, but deported.
I don't know how this relates to "Human Rights", I do feel somewhat miffed on occasions however that I pay my taxes and hardly have a say in how the country may be run - though in all honesty, probably who is in charge at a council level has more bearing on my circumstances.
