If human rights are like physical laws, as you claim here, then why
can human rights be violated? Physical laws cannot be violated...

However, a human right not to be killed unjustly


:-) That's the American version of the human right to not be killed
for **any** reason...

The strongest reason to not allow the justice system to execute
people is that courts sometimes make mistakes. Someone who has been
jailed innocently can be freed at given at least economic
compensation. But someone who has been executed innocently cannot be
brought back to life.
