Human Rights

Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behavior and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because he or she is a human being", and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are universally applicable everywhere and at every time for everyone.

Every entity that aspires to uphold justice and to build a healthy society maintaining the values of Humanity, Justice and Freedom must observe and document the violations and abuses being committed and hold the perpetrators accountable through professional and legal means. The importance of documenting crimes according to the international standards is to establish legal evidence to condemn the perpetrators, raise global awareness, and advocate for justice.
