You gotta separate the concept of a right from fulfilling them.
Says who?
If a human right only exists on paper it’s not a right - it’s a buzzterm for political racketeers to throw around. Fulfilling a “bill of rights” is the core part of the (so-called) “social contract” between the liberal state and it’s subjects - if it’s merely “fulfilling” those by pretending they exist, the existence of the liberal state - and liberalism itself - becomes irrelevant and unjustifiable to the subjects.

A right is a right. It doesn’t just disappear.
Fantasizing about rights doesn’t make them real - or even relevant.
