Humanity rest's on the individual. Rights are fought for and won, individualy: not collectivly. There are no basic human rights. Does a fetus have a basic human right?

Human rights are a construct of the industrialized nations, which, while well intentioned, simply criticize and marginalize developing nations. They are irrelevant wherever providing enough food is a serious concern. This becomes all the more ironic when America violates them.

rev 22;11 ,17,18,19,20 ,that we do to the least we do to him

let him who has ears hear
let him who has eyes see
let them know who kill , the killing time is over ,be as one for the only one , god whoi lives ever in the present [living] moment
live time all the time
''When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,

and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them,

a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness''

I believe that Human rights come from the formation of empathy in humans.
