Anything that becomes meaningless merely because of change of place means the rights you profess are non-existent
That's like saying our disposition to help people isn't innate because, if there were no people, the disposition would be meaningless.

The existence of a right does depend on a society, but that doesn't preclude it from having a causal link to our nature.
