I think every person in the world should have the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
But I don't know how to answer your question, because everyone seems to have a different definition of what constitutes a "right" these days. They certainly don't have a right to full and equal access to our government, economic, or military systems. None of those systems are advanced enough to protect everyone worldwide.

The constitution is what governs the jurisdiction of the USA. That's why they sent people to Guantanamo and that's why they need a judge to classify people as enemy combatants and that's why the have to render people to countries like Bulgaria for enhanced questioning.
Non-citizen Drug dealers caught in the USA get the same constitutional rights as a citizen.

Do you think the United States of America should be the governing entity in ensuring all the people in the world have these rights?

Let me simplify it for you. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is inherent to everyone. That is stated in The Declaration of Independence.
But the rights to a citizen is ONLY for his/her country. That is spelled out in each country's constitution.
