Respect for Human Rights

Human rights (civil, cultural, economic, political & social) are inherent in all human beings, irrespective of nationality, place of residence, sex, gender, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. Human rights are universal, interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. They are guaranteed by law, in treaties and customary international law. These oblige States & other duty-bearers to respect, protect and fulfil human rights of individuals and groups, without discrimination.
