I’m pretty sure my last explanation covered all of this but let me explain it again. Everyone has inalienable rights for no other reason than they are Gods creatures. So that would include North Koreans. These rights are not unconditional in that we all have an obligation and a duty to behave with virtue. So if a person or a people do not behave with virtue they have not met the conditions and are subject to experiencing the very predictable surprises that accompany not behaving with virtue of which there are many.RE: Afterlife….How About For You?
⁜→ ding, et al,
BLUF: Let me step back for a moment so that I may explain myself in an alternative way. When considering the fundamentals of logic, leading to truth, there are three "Laws of Thought" that must be considered:
The three Laws of Thought(1) The Law of Contradiction, (it is impossible for "proposition" and "not proposition" to be true simultaneously). The "Proposition" cannot be true (T) and not true [False (F)] at the same time.(2) The Law of the Excluded Middle Ground (There are only two states for any proposition - it is either true or not true. There is no gray area.)(3) The Principle of Identity. (A proposition is equal to itself.)
(COMMENT)As for your inability to not be able to look past the word inalienable, let me say that it should be logical that everyone has a duty and an obligation to the creator to behave with virtue.
There are a couple of problems here.
◈ A proposition that something is "inalienable" (in this case "Natural Law") is either "True" or "Not True" for everyone → everywhere → simultaneously. Conditional Statement: IF North Korea is populated by "people," and the United States is populated by "people" THEN it is not possible for one population of people to have an "inalienable right" that the other population of people does not.NOTE: If it were truly inalienable...
(COMMENT)And if one doesn’t then there are logically consequences. But the key to the phrase inalienable is that the rights are granted for no other reason than we are God’s creatures.
This is flawed because it is based on an unverifiable statement of fact (Creationist Theory) for which the truth of it is not in evidence.
(COMMENT)You don’t have to earn them. They are granted freely but they are not unconditional.
Granted freely by whom?
The Law of the Excluded Middle Ground (There are only two states for any proposition - it is either true or not true. There is no gray area.) preclude the possibility that one population is bound by conditions before granted inalienable rights that the other population is not. The Law of Identity must be the same for both populations. You cannot have conditions on one side of the equation that are not on the other side of the equation.
(COMMENT)Maybe you should read more sources on nature’s law. I’m not the one making up these beliefs. These were commonly held beliefs for a very long time. Try reading Blackstone, Coke, Aquinas, ancient Greeks, Locke, America’s Founding Fathers. Or even wiki, lol.
Oh, for heaven's sake → yes! I'll do my very best to catch up with you. American Founding Fathers' thoughts on "natural law" are unique to America. That uniqueness is still obvious over two centuries later - looking at the COVID-19 pandemic treatment. The most recent example is the controversy over The Democrats’ Gamble on Health Care for the Undocumented. Or the controversy touched-off by the decisions to withhold fair treatment: She's an undocumented immigrant, a taxpayer and an essential worker. But she won't get a stimulus check.
Article 12(3) • International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights said:The above-mentioned rights shall not be subject to any restrictions except those which are provided by law, are necessary to protect national security, public order (order public), public health or morals or the rights and freedoms of others, and are consistent with the other rights recognized in the present Covenant. Article 25(1) • Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) said:Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Now just because people have inalienable rights and meet their duty that does not mean that others or even their government will recognize their inalienable rights. When that happens their authority to take their inalienable rights which they are being deprived of is authorized by the creator himself.
Can you tell me how this explanation doesn’t answer your concerns?
