Droits de l’homme

“Droits de l’homme” is the French term for “human rights.” It refers to the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every individual, regardless of nationality, sex, ethnicity, religion, or any other status. These rights are considered inherent to all human beings and are essential for ensuring human dignity, justice, and equality.

Human rights encompass a wide range of protections, including civil and political rights (like the right to life, freedom of speech, and the right to a fair trial), as well as economic, social, and cultural rights (such as the right to work, education, and an adequate standard of living). The concept is based on the principles of universality and inalienability, meaning that these rights cannot be taken away or surrendered.

Droits de l’homme are often enshrined in international treaties and laws, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948. They serve as a framework for promoting and protecting the dignity and worth of every individual, guiding actions of governments and organizations on the global stage.
