You can get away with one, really -- protection of private property, with one's own body defined as a property. However, it's probably easier to codify without an accompanying philosophical treatise if you write it as three to four laws, banning violence, theft, fraud, and possibly defamation.

Defamation is a combination of fraud and violence.
The problem with your scheme is the protection of the commons.

It might not work today, but if one day we create strong AI, we can create (a disinterested) one called "the Environment", and give it the property rights to everything not currently considered private.
