Yep. Every western country I know of except America, has only a token gesture of human rights and they're only rights that happened to match the culture at the time with no longer term vision at all.
New Zealand, for example has its Bill of Rights Act which says no forced medical procedures. Somebody was recently fired for refusing a Covid vaccine and went to court arguing that right. The judge said, yea, there is that right, but also the government can revoke it whenever they feel like for any reason they want, and they have, so no luck.
Discrimination based on race or sex? Certainly not! Oh, except for hiring domestic workers, selecting flatmates, decency, safety, sports, etc, etc. In other words, all the places where people were already doing discrimination.
The UN's ambitiously named "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" has 28 rights for people, and a 29th right of governments to deny any of those rights for reasons of morality, public order, general welfare of democratic society. In other words, any reason whatsoever.
Remember freedom of internal travel? China used to be a human rights violator for restricting that. Now every country and its dog is doing the same. But this time it's "us" not "them", so it's all OK.
