Права человека

Права человека обычно понимаются как неотъемлемые права, на которые человек имеет право просто в силу того, что он человек. Они строятся на основополагающих принципах универсальности, равенства и недискриминации и закреплены в договорах, нормах обычного международного права, национальном законодательстве и других стандартах, которые определяют их и помогают гарантировать их полное применение. Права человека распространяются на всех людей, включая вынужденно перемещенных лиц и лиц без гражданства.
