Human Rights

Human rights are fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or status. They include the right to life, freedom from torture, freedom of speech, and the right to equal treatment under the law. These rights are protected by international laws and agreements designed to uphold human dignity and justice.

Supporters of current practices may emphasize law enforcement challenges and the need for public safety.
