Integrity – We carry out our mandate in an independent and impartial way. Inclusiveness – We are responsive to the needs of human rights defenders irrespective of the rights they defend. Equality – We  believe  in the principle of the universality of human rights. As such, we are respectful of others, treating all with dignity and without discrimination.

United Nations Secretary General

Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that all people are entitled to regardless of nationality, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, language, or other status. Human rights are conceived as universal and egalitarian, with all people having equal rights by virtue of being human.

BAN KI MOON

Human Rights in international practice, within international law, global and regional institutions, in the policies of states and the activities of non-governmental organisations has been a cornerstone of public policy around the world. It has been said that:”if the public discourse of peacetime global society can be said to have a common moral language, it is that of human rights.”

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
