International Human Rights Treaties

International Human Rights Treaties are formal agreements between countries that establish shared standards to protect fundamental rights and freedoms for all people, such as not being tortured, having fair trials, and ensuring freedom of expression. These treaties aim to promote dignity, equality, and justice worldwide. Countries that ratify these treaties commit to upholding these standards and often agree to report on their progress. While they don't automatically change national laws, they set important global benchmarks and foster cooperation to improve human rights practices internationally.
