If you had seen the cover on the issue in question, then you would realize that this is a fair request.

If I were in charge of something of this nature there is no way I'd relinquish control to a third party, especially over the cover of my magazine. Even if it was for one issue only. Anyway, their periodical is just that, it's not a forum for debate, and they aren't obligated to make it one.
If it's this much of an issue, vote with your dollars and don't buy Maclean's. Find another venue to publish the response. But pulling the 'human rights' card out over this is what seems like a bit of a hyperbole to me.
