Human rights are a luxury of stable, developed countries. If autocratic governments are too liberal with them, they can lose their power, and that can end up worse than all the human rights problems put together (ie civil war). See Iraq or Syria for example.

Or human rights are a requirement to become a stable, developed country.

Not a requirement. Eg USA didn't have them half a century ago despite being mostly developed (I understand some parts are still a bit wild west), and fairly stable (probably not really going to be taken over by communism).
