There is knowledge of existence of a situation and knowledge that enables you to comprehend a situation. I had the latter in mind.

I think the knowledge that counts there is knowledge of principles rather than culture.

It depends on definitions for: "human" (or maybe/also: "person"?) and "human rights" (extensional definition, i.e. a concrete set)
