Looks like I misunderstood your intentions then.

The question is more like what is not human rights. Education can not be a human right, because you will have to force someone to be the teacher, which is a violation of that persons rights.

Did OP make op these right by him self?

How can you define universal rights for all humans, when we do not have universal culture?
Human rights in its classical sense is a thing made up by the western world, and can therefore only apply to the western world.
Other parts should define their own "human rights" and apply them.
The world is not yet a type 1 planet, we are type 0.

These rights are found everywhere among humans, through history, that is why they are thought to be universal. There was a bit of logic applied also.

The assertion that there are "lots of so called rights" in rhe UN declaration of human rights was made by the OP, implying the wish to see them restricted more. Why that should be necessary for economics, I don't know.

Not "necessary for economics", but necessary for a prosperous society (and the freedom comes for free).

So in order to implement Austrian economics, we have to curb human rights and go below the minimum declared by the UN? Your namesake might agree, less rights and more power to the rulers.

Not curb human rights - strengthen them.

Governments have systematically taken away a couple of these rights already, including the right to defend ourselves, also how does Austrian economics 'curb' human rights? You need to explain yourself instead of making assertions which is all everybody ever seems to do in politics when talking about ideologies they don't know anything about.

What does this have to do with economics?

It is one of the foundations of the Austrian economics.

You own yourself and your things.

You have the right to remain unharmed by others, not being pushed around, not being held capture.

You have the right to be left alone with your things.

Every human have these rights, consequently you can not trample on others' rights.

If your rights are violated, you have the right to defend yourself with great force.

You can do everything else as you please.

You can associate with others, but the agents of the association have no more right than you have as an individual. In the association, you have the same ownership of the consequences as you have as an individual.

The above means that there are lots of so called rights, also written in for instance the UN declaration of rights, that are not rights. You don't have the right to curl around the legs of people who use violence to have some spoils.
