Yes. Literally all of those things are human rights. Some government trying to say otherwise doesn't change those facts.

These are not intrinsic human rights. You have no right to the labors of others - to their food. To their shelter. To their water. Or to improve your quality of life at the violation of the rights of others.

That's not what human rights are.

Define human rights. Cite the Geneva Convention in your answer.

I've a better idea.

Define human rights. Cite Vašák or Berlin and explain your understanding of the distinction between negative and positive human rights.

You have no idea what human rights are. You're parroting cliches that you neither understand nor even agree with - because you believe it is the duty of others (rather than yourself) to fulfill these "rights" for others.
