RIGHTS

2. What are human rights?
Human rights are based on the principle of respect
towards the individual.
Their fundamental premise is that every
person is a moral and rational being who
deserves to be treated with dignity. I am
called human rights because they are universal.
Human rights are the rights that belong
to each person simply because they are
alive, regardless of who or where
Viva.

3. Human Rights Principles
Human rights are universal and inalienable;
indivisible; interdependent and interrelated.
They are universal because everyone is born
with and possesses the same rights, regardless
of where they live, their gender or race, or
their religious, cultural or ethnic background.
• Inalienable because people’s rights can never
be taken away.
• Indivisible and interdependent because all
rights – political, civil, social, cultural and
economic – are equal in importance and
none can be fully enjoyed without the
others.

4. Human Rights Principles​
Equal and Non-discriminating: because all individuals are
equal as human beings and by virtue of the inherent
dignity of each human person.
Participating and Inclusive: because all people have the
right to participate in and access information relating to the
decision-making processes that affect their lives and well-
being.
Accountable and Rule of Law: because States are
answerable for the observance of human rights. They have
to comply with the legal norms and standards enshrined in
international human rights instruments.

6. The Universal Declaration
of Human Rights
• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(UDHR), adopted by the UN General Assembly
in 1948, was the first legal document to set out
the fundamental human rights to be universally
protected. The UDHR continues to be the
foundation of all international human rights
law. Its 30 articles provide the principles and
building blocks of current and future human
rights conventions, treaties and other legal
instruments.The UDHR, together with the 2
covenants - the International Covenant for Civil
and Political Rights, and the International
Covenant for Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights - make up the International Bill of Rights.

7. Obligations of
the States
All States have ratified at least 1 of the 9 core
human rights treaties, as well as 1 of the 9
optional protocols. 80% of States have ratified
4 or more. This means that States have
obligations and duties under international law
to respect, protect and fulfill human
rights.The obligation to respect means that
States must refrain from interfering with or
curtailing the enjoyment of human rights; to
protect requires States to protect individuals
and groups against human rights abuses; to
fulfill means that States must take positive
action to facilitate the enjoyment of basic
human rights.
