That's because human rights are inalienable, meaning they can neither be taken nor given away.

"Human rights" were introduced historically very recently, including concept of their inalienability. Concept of "justice" is much older. Thank you for clarification, I really like the word "inalienable".

Human rights have always been there, it's just that recently they were discovered (not invented).

Cant find any human right on me, or with microscope. Guess this is pure speculation, used for human resources management.
