I exist.
I don't need your approval, acknowledgement, or any other external validation.
The right of survival and, by derivation, the right to self defense, is mine, requiring only that I claim it.
That right can be abridged by another, though not without my counter-assertion that I must continue to survive, and my overt and possibly violent efforts to preserve my own life.
This principle applies to any sentient being as an intrinsic attribute, and history is replete with examples of conflict resulting from attempts to deny the right to life, countered by the insistence on living.
The principle of survival, and the drive of all life to persist in the face of efforts to destroy it, may be codified simply as "the right to life."
It is the impulse, the expectation -- and requirement -- of sentient life that it shall continue to live, even in the face of direct threat to that continuation.
It is not necessary that anyone agree that this principle exists, but to act in ignorance or denial of it predictably and commonly comes to a bad end.
All other requisites for viable sentient life derive from this single mandate: to survive.
The principle of personal and individual survival underpins all the ancillary principles that augment survival.
Communication, personal security, personal shelter, and so on are all derived from this. Happiness is found in the effective pursuit of these things.
It is an act of sanity to acknowledge and enshrine these most basic requirements of survival, and a culture or governing construct which consistently ignores or nullifies them will eventually come a cropper. Sentient life will eventually assert its rights of existence, survival, and viability, and whatever stands in opposition will eventually fail.
Efforts to "manage" or govern others do not create such principles or derivations, the principles pre-exist such efforts to control the lives of others.
More simply: life wants to live, and there will be hell to pay for anyone who would act to deny that.
