But the United Nations do. Human Rights are defined by general
agreement, like any law (they do not come from Nature, in this you are
right). These are rights that all humans have within the human
society. These rights cannot be taken away from them without either
claiming exceptions, such as during prison terms, or by violating the
UN resolution - the latter is meant when people speak about violation
of human rights.

BTW the right to not have your email client show that you bought it
for a discount, is not a human right.
