I encourage you to read the letters between Einstein and Freud which lay the theoretical groundwork for human rights.

edit: still short on time, but i will re-read your post and reply to the legitimate, non-political questions.
laws are tools. binding treaties create laws.
Human rights aren’t a tool at all
