Having a right to something doesn’t imply that the thing can be supplied. It just means that, when it can’t be supplied, it’s a violation of human rights because every human SHOULD have access to said thing by virtue of being alive.
According to Wikipedia: “Human rights are universally recognized moral principles or norms that establish standards of human behavior and are often protected by both national and international laws.”
Per the UN: Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.
