This took some research to find out what you're trying to present. I think you need to tell the whole story. You need to read the entire Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN in 1948 which sets forth freedoms and rights of all human being on earth are entitled to enjoy.
I was really confused by the IDN connection, though, and found where you're reading about it and see it is a conspiracy you're writing about, which will follow.
You left out a major portion of an actual Article in the Declaration in one of your quotes, which changes the meaning and intent of the Article. You wrote:
"In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law…” and you take this portion to mean that the government dictates our rights. The Constitution, which sets forth our rights, is interpreted by the three branches of the government through its checks and balances, and believe me, there is a whole body of law on the Constitution.
But you left off the remainder of the sentence, to-wit: "In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law"
"solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society." Again, you have to read the rights and freedoms set forth in the entire Declaration.
You also need to include, for a better understanding the next Article, Article 30: "Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein."
But the main thing you didn't include, while railing against Republicans, is that the Democrats have their own group advocating the same thing you're upset about through the Democratic Leadership Council.
I found a link where you may be getting your information:

The information further down the page in this link says:
"Today, both Republicans and Democrats are completely committed to implementing Agenda 21. Whereas Republicans have joined forces with political parties from numerous other nations in the International Democratic Union (IDU), Democrats have signed on with another international coalition, the Democratic Leadership Council, which is the brainchild of Britain’s Tony Blair.
Both of these internationalist groups advocate the adoption of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights."
I've heard about these conspiracies, and this isn't the place to talk about them, but to say it's just the Republicans involved is just inaccurate.
You also leave off another very important part of one of your sentences which renders your interpretation of the meaning of the sentence different from the intent of the Article. You state that: “The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government…” means the government can change our rights at will. What the Article in the Declaration REALLY says is:
"The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures."
The actual text of the Declaration, therefore, to paraphrase, is that the will of the people is expressed through our elections.
The Constitution is the basis for our laws, which we have to obey. Congress does now and has always had the right to change our laws, within the checks and balances established.
