Yeah, it’s only as good as the local laws and their enforcement.

Something to strive for though.

Human rights don't need enforcement to exist. Part of the point of clarifying rights is clarifying wrongs when that happens.

In other words, rights come from human dignity and inherent value. They do not spring into being by fiat from rulers and politicians.
