All people deserve equal treatment

[Bambook]

I am looking up "deserve" in here https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/deserve
The usages wich I see are mostly about getting something for having done something.
I wonder can "deserve" be used in this sentense "All people deserve equal treatment." Just because it would be fair. Or some other word must be used instead?

Yes, of course.

Or should some other word must be used instead?

No, "deserve" is perfect in that sentence.
