Rights don't exist to solve problems.
I didn't say that
Also, just because a government ought to do it, doesn't make it a right.
but by calling them rights, you open yourself to the critique, that they aren't rights.
I understand your point but I really think that they are rights and thats why I call them rights. Btw not just me thinks that but also the UN. Moreover as I mentioned above there are things called positive rights.
Rights are protections citizens have FROM government.
This is the case for negative rights. And I wouldnt include here other citizens as they can also threaten some of your rights
