The International Bill of Human Rights

The International Bill of Human Rights is a collection of key documents that outlines fundamental human rights. It includes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and two important treaties: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Together, these texts establish universal standards for human dignity, freedom, and justice, emphasizing that every individual has inherent rights regardless of nationality, race, or gender. They serve as a foundation for international human rights law and encourage countries to respect and protect the rights of all people.
