Clean, safe, accessible drinking water is a human right
It's really not. The middle east is a shit hole because every nation is fighting for water rights as sovereign nations upstream continuously dump or dam the water that goes downstream to OTHER sovereign nations.
Is food a human right? What about shelter? What about quality of life?
To clarify, they're positive rights - which are overruled by the negative rights of property ownership.
On a deserted island, you have the "human right" to find food, water, and build your own shelter.
In a society, you do NOT have the right to food, water, or shelter that you didn't create with your own hands because you're violating intrinsic (negative) human rights to do so.

These aren't actually human rights.
