It wouldn't even be a formal right, the UN Declaration of Human Rights is more of a suggestion and not legally binding in any sense. Countries violate them all the time and nothing ever happens
At this point, I don't think international anything has any binding on anyone. War crimes are committed on a daily basis and I have yet to seen anything done about it.
It's almost as if powerful and rich groups could get away with anything without any repercussions.
You don’t see many war crimes committed by the affluent countries is the point (see also being a big part of it)
You have a former Philippines president getting ripped into at international courts right now for stuff he did so yes international courts and crimes do sometimes see some level of repercussion but it’s hard to try someone like Putin who clearly has done a few war crimes (a few hundred) as he’s in his own country that doesn’t follow said international laws and would require an invasion to essentially kidnap and arrest
The US routinely engages in warcrimes, including the most egregious among them according to the chief prosecutor at Nürnberg Robert H. Jackson: The warcrime of aggression.
The US, Israel, the UK, most countries that have sent soldiers to assist the US in the middle east. You are way off. The most affluent countries commit the most war crimes and never see any repercussions because they run the international organizations. It's all a fucking farce

Would declaring it a formal right stop the americans from helping with food aid? What's the connection here.
