Not sure as maybe the term "inalienable right" has a different meaning, but I feel like the article is making too strong a claim. An "inalienable right" is usually something you cannot waive by contract, and so while you could promise never to enforce a right you cannot legally bind yourself or the state from enforcing it.
Basically it makes CC licenses more risky for distributors of such content as there is always the risk that the previously waived right is now enforceable on a whim.
However, maybe "inalienable right" in EU legal language means that you must enforce it, which seems like quite a legal burden on the license issuer.
