I would agree that a natural law would likely be something fundamental to us, but we have not yet established that justice, equality, etc *are* such laws, specifically because everyone disagrees on what they are and what they mean.
There's no link between the two other than "it means something to everyone, even if no one agrees on what that something is". That, however, negates it, as there's no objective standard against which to measure whether it actually is common, or if people are simply calling different things by the same name.
