If we are to assume that human rights are universal (the UN says so), premise two is invalid, as it is not universalizable.

I don't think universality is a prerequisite for validity

For that matter I guess I would disagree with the UN. Someone who forfeits their basic human rights, for example, would not be entitled to them. So in that sense they're not universal.
