Everyone values life. Do you not value life? Humans value a sense of fairness and justice, this has been shown by studying infants. Humans value happiness and joy. These are OBJECTIVE HUMAN VALUES that all people can access. Building on this you could form an objective system of morality that bases itself on values that are available to all people.
Your view is the one I completely corroborate, you expressed it better than I would have... I believe there is a central minimum core of human values, something that is highly related to human rights, we can have an idea of those by reading the declaration of HR... And I believe the rest of morals are relative values and people can make their judgement. For instance, many people consider murder immoral even in cases of self defense according to the requirement of necessity. I don't consider murder in cases of self defense, when it's the only available mean, something immoral, but a survival instinct
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
