As fan of the "innate rights" platform, I will say that these rights are part of each human.

You ask specifically about:
"the right to live without fear in a peaceful society"
There is no such right.

1. How do you know that there is no innate right to live in peace? What's the point of outlawing murder except for furthering the right to live in peace?

2. Coming back to my OP: What happens when two rights exclude each other?
