Civil and Political Rights

Civil and political rights are fundamental freedoms that protect individuals’ ability to live freely and participate in society. Civil rights ensure personal freedoms like speech, privacy, and equality before the law, preventing discrimination. Political rights enable citizens to participate in government through voting, free elections, and expressing opinions. Together, these rights uphold individual autonomy and ensure governments respect personal freedoms while allowing active civic engagement. They form the foundation of democratic societies by safeguarding personal dignity and political participation.
