International law of Human Rights: Basic Instruments

Introduction

The International Law of Human Rights is a set of principles and norms governing the international protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals and represents the international standards of human rights for national law. The international law of human rights is a branch of public international law. Basis of International Law of Human Rights are UN treaties, as well as regional organizations (the systems of the Council of Europe, the African Union and the Organization of American States).

Ultimately, we can say that the theory of human rights has strongly influenced the development of the international community that took place after the Second World War and that this theory has led to the affirmation and consolidation of a progressive new, large and important sector of the international regulatory environment (the so-called international law of human rights).

The International Law on Human Rights stipulates the obligations that States must comply. When a State becomes party to a treaty, international law requires him to respect, protect and implement human rights. Respect human rights means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. Protect means that States must protect individuals and groups against violations of human rights. Establish means that States must take positive steps to facilitate the exercise of fundamental rights of man.

By ratifying the international treaties of human rights, governments are committed to take national measures and to adopt laws consistent with treaty obligations. When the national legal procedures do not address the violations of human rights, there are mechanisms and procedures ...
