The gist of the issue is this:  the so-called facts, which the
existence of natural rights are postulated to explain, are of nature
common to all human beings. The question is whether such nature
obtains? If yes, natural rights exist; if not, they are of unicorn
type.

There are folks, who defends the existence of natural rights on
fictionalism. For instance,

Recently, there appeared an article in Critical Review, which argues
about incoherence of libertarian conception of natural rights; the
paper is "Libertarian natural rights: Siegfried van duffel, Critical
Review, 16(4).
