The Right to Life, Liberty, and Property Ownership are called "Negative Rights" in many countries (but not all countries). Negative rights are suppose to extend a protection from interference (acts by a government).
"Positive Rights" are given by the government to people.

The UN action (A/RES/181 II) was a recommendation on how to proceed. The adjacent Arab States took unilateral extraterritorial action. The Arab Attack was initiated after the Termination of the British Mandate. This UN General Assembly (GA) Resolution is not law. The GA Resolution without ratification cannot compel any nation to act or create any state.
After the various Armistice Agreements, none of the Arab Aggressors holding an "Occupation" over territory west of the Jordan River made any effort to returned territorial sovereignty to any Arab Provisional Government. In fact, Jordan Annexed the West Bank. Egypt established a Military Governor for the Gaza Strip. This was Prima Facie evidence that (without regard to their explanation about protecting the Arab Population) they planned to take the territory, formerly under mandate, and carve it up for themselves.
As long as the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP), and associated designated terrorist organizations, are supported by the general populations - and teach each successive generation to hate Israel - peace will remain several generations into the future.
(ADDITIONAL COMMENT)
The The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR) [Country Status State Party (173)
Signatory (6) No Action (18)] outlines the generally accepted CIVIL and POLITICAL Rights. You have to read it pretty carefully.
One more thought::
Without regard to what the HoAP might say, they have no inherent right to conduct hostile operations against the Israelis:Originally Posted by Excerpt from the Fourth Geneva Convention
• within there sovereign territory.
• within any territory where Israel continues to haveresponsibilities with regard to internal security and public order, as well as with regard to other powers and responsibilities not transferred.
The Arab Palestinian agreed to this and now (as Arab Politics demand) refuse to recognize this. See: Functional jurisdiction in Area C, as detailed in Article IV of Annex III. (Special Provisions concerning Area C)
