Infringing human rights

Description

Violating human rights involves deliberate actions or policies that deny individuals or groups their fundamental freedoms and protections, often to maintain control, suppress dissent, or achieve political, economic, or social objectives. This strategy typically includes censorship, discrimination, unlawful detention, or violence. Remedies focus on legal accountability, international advocacy, policy reform, and education to prevent abuses, protect victims, and promote respect for human dignity and justice at all levels of society.
