There was a time that all of these were just "nice ideas" in the US
- Same sex marriage
- Women having the right to vote
- People of color having the right to freedom

Most of these rights were not enforced, or even recognized until people fought either with pens or with weapons and progress was made.
I linked to the UN's framework for this in my parent comment, and while I agree that this is an incredibly hard problem to address globally, we shouldn't discount the value and power of "nice ideas".
