human rights are not just based on what the law says…

if a community that had an unwritten custom that everyone could access the village well, and then a new ruler passed a law restricting certain people from the well, would you say no rights were violated since well access was never legally codified?

unless of course you’re a feudalist/capitalist that supports the commons enclosures or the Highland “clearances”…
