ALL HUMANS ARE BORN FREE AND EQUAL



Higher Commissioner for Human Rights states:

Human rights need to be figured every step as it shows the root causes of human trafficking.

Typical root causes:

  • Impunity is maintained for traffickers
  • Complicity of public sector
  • Unjust distribution of power
  • Justice is denied to victims
  • Patterns of discrimination
  • Demands derived from exploitation

A link between human rights and human trafficking is clear. Human rights approach places victim at the center of any creditable action.

Human rights approach acknowledges governments are responsible for protecting and promoting rights of all people within their jurisdiction and have a legal obligation to eliminate trafficking related to exploitation.

Different human rights are relevant at different points in the trafficking cycle. Some are especially relevant to the causes of trafficking. Violations of basic human rights are prohibited under international human rights laws. Certain human rights concern the response to trafficking such as right to access justice, right to effective remedies, and right to a fair trial.

Human rights are integrated into government and business human resource policies. All human rights are equally important.

It’s difficult for a human to stay alive without human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the result of what happened in the holocaust. It’s the International Bill of Human Rights or inalienable rights applied on a permanent basis at global and regional levels. It's been enforced since 1948.
