# Human Rights
Human rights represent a set of principles aimed at safeguarding individual dignity and liberty. These rights are inherent, universal, and indivisible, encompassing civil, political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions. They serve as a framework for legal standards, ensuring that individuals are treated with fairness and respect across diverse societies. The protection and promotion of human rights are essential for maintaining social justice and peace.
In relation to data, the systematic analysis of human rights metrics provides critical insights into compliance levels and violations. Such insights are instrumental in formulating policies that uphold and enhance the protection of human rights worldwide.
