Society/Government Enforcement as we have it structured now does not have a duty to prevent harm. It mostly acts as an enforcement/reaction arm to respond once harm has been done. In some ways the response acts as a deterrent to future by others being done, but the primary aim is to punish infringement of the structure put in place or to assist a citizen once harm has been done.
I'm not sure how this relates to the conversation about rights. To talk about the inclusion of Healthcare as a right for instance, no one would propose that the government prevent people from getting injured. Or to, while being injured, intervene and stop it. My understanding is that healthcare provided as a right would be healthcare provided in response to an injury a Citizen has experienced.
