I thought they were from Calabria the ndujas.

Where are the universal human rights. Who establishes what they are? You can say, or the French revolution can say "These are universal human rights." Fine, but the reality is that if they are ignored by 90% of the world there is very little you can do about it.

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' is a pretty good starting point.

Of course it is. Conceptually human rights can never be a scale according to who you are or where you live: that's the relativism that leads to slavery and extermination, because those people are/were never really people like us anyway.

Economic systems have evolved in such a way that for many individuals, participating in exploitation is unavoidable because they have little or no agency, that all rests with the rich and powerful.

Post internet, the degree of agency has improved. The big retailers are scared to death of negative publicity. There was a Bangladeshi clothing factory that burned down with many deaths, the UK retailers went to treat lengths to prove that they weren't using it. Even some rumours gave the Tesco share price a beating. That made them sit up. Money talks.
