These rights are inherent to all human beings and are often considered universal, inalienable, and indivisible. The EOR enshrined in various international documents and treaties, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
EOR support human rights that include civil and political rights, such as the right to life, freedom of speech, and the right to a fair trial, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights, like the right to education, health, and work. Additionally, human rights encompass the principles of non-discrimination, equality, and the prohibition of torture and slavery.
EOR promoting and protecting human rights is also a shared responsibility of governments, international organizations, civil society, and individuals. Human rights advocacy aims to create a world where the inherent dignity and worth of every person are respected, protected, and fulfilled. Violations of human rights often prompt international scrutiny and calls for accountability to ensure justice and prevent further abuses.
