    Human rights are universal, inalienable, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated. They apply equally to all people regardless of attributes such as gender, race or religion. Human rights are universal as all people everywhere are entitled to them. They are indivisible as civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights are inherent to human dignity and equal in status. Rights are also interdependent, as fulfillment of one right often depends on other rights. States and other duty-bearers must uphold human rights through compliance with international law and standards, while ensuring participation, inclusion and accountability.

    Human Rights Principles (UNFPA – UN Population Fund, 2005)

    (based on UDHR – Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

    Human rights are universal and inalienable; indivisible; interdependent and interrelated. They are
    universal because everyone is born with and possesses the same rights, regardless of where they live, their
    gender or race, or their religious, cultural or ethnic background. Inalienable because people’s rights can never
    be taken away. Indivisible and interdependent because all rights – political, civil, social, cultural and
    economic – are equal in importance and none can be fully enjoyed without the others. They apply to all
    equally, and all have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. They are upheld by the rule of
    law and strengthened through legitimate claims for duty-bearers to be accountable to international standards.
    Universality and Inalienability: Human rights are universal and inalienable. All people everywhere in the
    world are entitled to them. The universality of human rights is encompassed in the words of Article 1 of
    the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and
    rights.”
    Indivisibility: Human rights are indivisible. Whether they relate to civil, cultural, economic, political or
    social issues, human rights are inherent to the dignity of every human person. Consequently, all human rights
    have equal status, and cannot be positioned in a hierarchical order. Denial of one right invariably impedes
    enjoyment of other rights. Thus, the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living cannot be
    compromised at the expense of other rights, such as the right to health or the right to education.
    Interdependence and Interrelatedness: Human rights are interdependent and interrelated. Each one
    contributes to the realization of a person’s human dignity through the satisfaction of his or her
    developmental, physical, psychological and spiritual needs. The fulfilment of one right often depends,
    wholly or in part, upon the fulfilment of others. For instance, fulfilment of the right to health may depend, in
    certain circumstances, on fulfilment of the right to development, to education or to information.
    Equality and Non-discrimination: All individuals are equal as human beings and by virtue of the inherent
    dignity of each human person. No one, therefore, should suffer discrimination on the basis of race, colour,
    ethnicity, gender, age, language, sexual orientation, religion, political or other opinion, national, social or
    geographical origin, disability, property, birth or other status as established by human rights standards.
    Participation and Inclusion: All people have the right to participate in and access information relating to the
    decision-making processes that affect their lives and well-being. Rights-based approaches require a high
    degree of participation by communities, civil society, minorities, women, young people, indigenous peoples
    and other identified groups.
    Accountability and Rule of Law: States and other duty-bearers are answerable for the observance of human
    rights. In this regard, they have to comply with the legal norms and standards enshrined in international
    human rights instruments. Where they fail to do so, aggrieved rights-holders are entitled to institute
    proceedings for appropriate redress before a competent court or other adjudicator in accordance with the
    rules and procedures provided by law. Individuals, the media, civil society and the international community
    play important roles in holding governments accountable for their obligation to uphold human rights.
