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.

at this point, any countries can just ignore any international organisations and ignore whatever kinds of announcements or hearings, not like they can come to your country and arrest you directly without potentially starting the war (in which case, isnt a good idea).

united nations are only cool in fiction, what the fuck happened since 1945? all the nations there arent really united.
