International human rights law
The international human rights movement was strengthened 1. (з прийняттям Генеральной Асемблеєй ООН Загальної Декларації прав людини 10 грудня 1948 року). Drafted as ‘a common standard of achievement for all peoples and nations’, the Declaration for the first time in human history 2. (зафіксувала основні цивільні, політичні, економічні, соціальні та культурні права, які мають бути доступні кожній людині). It has over time been 3. (широко визнаним як базові норми прав людини) that everyone should respect and protect. The UDHR, together with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, form the so - called 4. (Міжнародний білль про права людини).
A series of international human rights treaties and other instruments adopted since 1945 5. (юридично закріпили права людини) and developed the body of international human rights. 6. (Інші документи) have been adopted at the regional level reflecting the particular human rights concerns of the region and providing for specific mechanisms of protection. 7. (Більшість країн розробили конституції та інші національні закони) which formally protect basic human rights. While international treaties and customary law form the backbone of international human rights law other instruments, such as 8. (декларації, рекомендації та принципи) adopted at the international level contribute to its understanding, implementation and development. Respect for human rights requires 9. (забезпечення верховенства права на національному та міжнародному рівнях).
International human rights law 10. (закріпляє за державами певні обов’язки). 11. (Ставши учасниками міжнародних договорів), States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfil human rights. 12. (Повага до прав людини) means that States must refrain from interfering with or curtailing the enjoyment of human rights. The obligation to protect 13. (вимагає від держав) to protect individuals and groups against human rights abuses. The obligation to fulfil means that States must take positive action to facilitate 14. (здійснення та реалізацію основних прав людини).
15. (Ратифікуя міжнародні договори в сфері прав людини), Governments undertake to put into place domestic measures and legislation compatible with their treaty obligations and duties. 16. (В разі, коли держави не справляються з ситуаціями порушень прав людини), mechanisms and procedures for individual complaints or communications are available at the regional and international levels to help ensure that international human rights standards are indeed respected, implemented, and enforced at the local level.
