Just because we can't observe them with our four senses doesn't mean they aren't real and we can't observe them with our moral sense. Humans have the ability to know moral truths There are universal rights, and as far as I'm concerned they're just the laws of reality as we've observed them. I think the big problem here is morality. What is right and what is wrong. If we define what is right and what is wrong as what we can and can't do, respectively, then it becomes really simple. However, since we've developed reason and thought along with society, we've had to evolve our universal rights to a human level. I'm sure you don't want to be killed, just as I don't, so humanity has made an imaginary contract to ensure our lives. However, it is not set in stone, and as such, can be broken by anybody who wants to. That is why we've outlined consequences for breaking what we call "the law". At least that's how I see it.
