What is the true nature of human rights?

definition
"Human rights are not mere legal constructs; they are the inborn rights to life, dignity, and growth that allow each individual to blossom into their true potential."
According to Osho, human rights are not legal slogans but inborn rights to life, dignity, health, and growth—each person’s chance to blossom into their ultimate flowering. They can’t be sacrificed to any ideology or war. Genuine human rights demand a global atmosphere of nonviolence and reverence for all life, human and animal, and the freedom to refuse killing or coercion.
Everyone is born with the right to live safely, grow fully, and never be forced to harm others—including animals.
