When is Human Right?

Based on Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.” But Trump recently just pass an Executive Order violates the article that makes people crisis. Executive Order 13769 name "Protect the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry" been passed on 1 February 2017 also know as the Trump Travel ban, which created an initial ban for 120 days and reinstated temporary travel restrictions on six of the original seven prohibited countries including Syria, according to the Wikipedia. The executive order has been effected on January 27, 2017, even though the Syria Civil War, The war has killed more than 500,000 Syrian’s still ongoing, and a lot of refugees need help. While in the United States Trump Travel Ban passed, other countries still try their best to solve the Refugee Crisis by accepting more refugees. Trump reason for the fact why he passes this policy also can not accept, he says that "Protect American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals" and give example is the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that murdered 3,000 American people and was caused by foreigners and refugees, including Muslim people. Is it reason was good enough for the United States to have the right to stop "people to seek and enjoy other countries asylum from persecution." Is it fair for the Syrian refugees and other countries? Is it the best thing to do is to avoid the problem rather than solve it?
