The Human Rights Implementation

Human rights are rooted in the idea that all human beings have the right to live in dignity. Therefore, human rights include civil and political rights (like free speech or the right to vote) and they include economic, social, and cultural rights (like housing, education, and health). Different types of rights are inseparable from one another. They are inalienable and universal, and they apply to every individual human being on earth, regardless of race, nationality, religion, sex, language, class, or any other status.

International human rights law includes declarations, treaties, and other standards that articulate what human rights include and how the international community can ensure that people's rights are protected and promoted. Human rights law is rooted in the idea that all humans have the right to live in dignity.

Implementing human rights means incorporating human rights principles, laws, and standards directly into local policy and law. Implementation puts human rights law into practice by working with local actors who want to respect, protect, and fulfill their human rights obligations. Implementation uses a rights-based approach to shape the process and outcome at a local level.
