Arab Charter on Human Rights

The Arab Charter on Human Rights is a regional agreement among Arab countries that aims to promote and protect human rights in the Arab world. Adopted in 2004 by the League of Arab States, it outlines various rights, including the right to life, freedom of expression, and protection from discrimination. While it provides a framework for human rights standards, its effectiveness varies among member states, often influenced by local laws and political situations. The Charter highlights the importance of human dignity and the responsibility of governments to uphold these rights for their citizens.
