Equality and Non-discriminatory

Non- discrimination is a cross-cutting principle in International human rights law. The principle is present in all the major human rights treaties and provides the central theme of some international human rights conventions such as the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

The principle applies to everyone in relation to all human rights and freedoms and it prohibits discrimination on the basis of a list of non-exhaustive categories such as sex, race, colour, and so on. The principle of non-discrimination is complemented by the principle of Equality as stated in Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “ All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”.
