While those words are not, you do find 

3. The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except 
those which are
provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order 
(ordre public), public
health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, and are consistent with 
the other rights
recognized in the present Covenant.

in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and many other 
instruments that have been signed and do have binding force on the signatories.
