None of those three principles (right, just and fair) are objective.
Depending on how you define those terms they can be.

Agreed, then it becomes a case of which moral framework is better.

You want to build a moral code based on a fundamental principle, but that fundamental principle has to be defined by your moral code.

Any solid moral theory has to start from a theory of value, not some assumption of categorical right and wrong.
