They emphasize respect for human dignity, equality, and non-discrimination. They promote the importance of participation, transparency, and fairness in decision-making processes that affect individuals’ lives. These principles aim to ensure that everyone’s rights are upheld consistently, regardless of background, and that policies are made responsibly, honoring the inherent worth of each person. Essentially, they serve as the ethical foundation for fair and respectful treatment of all individuals within various legal and social systems.
