Who bestow unalienable rights?
For the religiously inclined, inalienable rights are bestowed by the Creator. For the less religious, we choose to bestow them upon ourselves. The assertion that a right is inalienable only means that we don't think it should ever be violated, it doesn't mean that in reality someone will not violate it. There does not seem to be any cosmic agency that is actively protecting such rights. Citizens of the US, for example, are said by the founding fathers to be endowed by their Creator with the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, people still get murdered, thus depriving them of all three of those things.

That is the philosophical basis of the abolitionist movement. Note that President Lincoln also quoted this section of the Declaration of Independence in his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. It is an extremely important statement and it is fundamental to America.
