Rights Principles

Understanding the Principles of Rights

Rights principles are the basic rules that guide how rights work:

  • Universality: Rights belong to everyone
  • Equality: All people deserve equal treatment
  • Non-discrimination: Rights apply regardless of differences
  • Interdependence: Rights are connected to each other
  • Accountability: Someone must ensure rights are protected

These principles help us understand:

  • Why rights are important for everyone
  • How rights work together
  • What happens when rights are not protected
  • How to make sure rights are respected
  • The foundation of fair societies
