There are a lot of issues with the concept of rights, but there is a lot of value in asserting that people should have certain rights, and that these should not be subject to the whim of the ruling class, or for that matter, of temporarily-misguided majorities.

There are some people saying that states should have rights, or that nation-states do have the right to hurt people for this or that, e.g. to "protect their borders."

These people are pushing nonsense. They aren't offering any insight about the limits of the concept of rights. They are simply using "right" as a catch-phrase to excuse the violation of rights and to take any meaning from rights.

As long as certain abled people continue beating disabled people, and generally screwing over disabled people, those abled people owe compensation.
