What are human rights?

Human rights are those basic standards, which are important for enabling people to live in safety and dignity.

Human rights protect our lives and our bodies from harm, allowing us to live as free persons, and to carry out different activities – to express ourselves, to learn new information, to meet with friends and like-minded people and so on.

To provide real and practical human rights, the States have undertaken to explain and protect them by adopting the necessary laws.

In Georgia, human rights are recognized and protected by the Constitution, which guarantees the equality of the citizens of Georgia before the law. The second chapter of the Constitution of Georgia is fully devoted to human rights.
