This document discusses several civil and human rights. It begins by defining human dignity as the notion that all humans are uniquely valuable and deserve the highest respect. It then outlines various rights that should be afforded to all people, including the right to life, liberty, security of person and property, a fair and impartial justice system, privacy, due process, humane treatment of detainees and prisoners, freedom from torture and cruel punishment, and protection against forced disappearances. The document stresses that these rights must be upheld by the state and its agents.
