[Mind's Eye] Re: "Are There Natural Human Rights?"

Just reading through it now.

I find I can't agree with this bit at all:

'In contrast to these objections, I would contend that if all
communities or nations on earth enjoy the same sort of autonomy that
legitimates any action that they deem acceptable and can be sustained
for a period of time, then the moral relativists win. There are no
natural human rights, and the whole enterprise should be thrown into
the gutter.'

I would ask why if it is shown that these natural human rights do not
exist (which is indeed my stance) why the whole concept of them need
to be thrown in the gutter?
