human rights charter
Liberties declaration text
A human rights charter is a formal document declaring fundamental rights and freedoms to which all people are entitled—typically including protections like freedom of speech, freedom from torture, and equality before the law.
Such charters may be international agreements, national constitutional documents, or regional declarations: The European Convention on Human Rights serves as the continent's human rights charter.
The term often appears in political debate about which rights deserve legal protection.
