It does not define "human rights". It defines some legal rights of people within the jurisdiction of the document - not some global notion of "human rights"
Human rights are legal rights. Human rights vary by jurisdiction. For example, the The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) administers Ontario provincial law.
