Yeah it does. Non-rights-based ethical systems like consequentialism have no concept of rights whatsoever.

The ethical system I advocate derives the rights it argues for from moral principles. You could just as easily call it responsibility-based because it centers personal responsibility. It would lead to the same conclusion regardless of whether you emphasize rights or responsibility principles.
