su libertad, sus libertades


Explanation:
Una opción que me parece válida. Independientemente del sentido concreto del original, creo que cumple con la misma misión: ir de lo general a lo específico, y usando el lenguaje politiqués. ;o)

La traducción que me suena válida sería algo así como:

«[…] donde se tiene en cuenta por encima de todo a la gente, su libertad, sus libertades y la mejora de su nivel de vida.»

Un saludo.
