Abstract

A series of international human rights treaties and other instruments adopted since 1945 have conferred legal forms on inherent human rights and developed the body of international human rights. Other instruments have been adopted at the regional level reflecting the particular human rights concerns of the region and providing for specific mechanisms of protection. Most states have also adopted constitutions and other laws which formally protect basic human rights. While international treaties and customary law form the backbone of international human rights law, other instruments, such as declarations, guidelines, and principles adopted at the international level, contribute to its understanding, implementation, and development. Respect for human rights requires the establishment of the rule of law at the national and international levels.
