Human rights are universal rights and freedoms that are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their nationality, race, gender, religion, or any other status. They are protected under international law, including treaties, conventions, and customary international law. The international community recognises a broad range of human rights, including civil and political rights, such as freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial, as well as economic, social, and cultural rights, such as the right to education and the right to health care. The protection and promotion of human rights is a fundamental goal of the international community, and violations of human rights are subject to condemnation, investigation, and redress.
