Well, no, my stance is that "all men are created equal" is a belief, and therefor not everyone is going to believe in it (or, as you put it, agree with it). For sure, there are many people, in other countries on this world, that emphatically do
not believe all men are created equal.

Indeed. That is what "all men are created equal" is leading up to, in the Declaration of Independence. But, again, it's a belief and not a scientific fact that "all individuals deserve to be afforded the same rights and the same opportunities"; a belief that is not held by all people and all nations of this world.
