What are ‘universal rights?’ Where did this phrase come from recently? Is it another leftist term like social justice?

Sorta but more global in its application.

It’s just 0bami being confused again. I’m sure he means “inalienable rights endowed by our creator”, right???

/sarcasm

It's taken from this...
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Where did this phrase come from recently?
It's not recent...
President Obama Speaks Out on Iran Violence December 28, 2009
The United States will always bear witness for and stand by those in Iran, and around the world, who seek to exercise their universal human rights.

It's just been used more 'recently'.

Is it another leftist term like social justice?
As for myself I would say...

A 1998 sign up and you don't know about this stuff?
