The "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights" (ICCPR) is a vital human rights treaty that forms a cornerstone of the International Bill of Human Rights. Adopted by the United Nations, this covenant encompasses a wide range of civil and political rights, ensuring the protection of individual liberties and freedoms worldwide. These rights include the right to life, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, a fair trial, and the right to participate in political processes through voting, assembly, and association. The covenant safeguards privacy, due process, and equality, while prohibiting torture, discrimination, and arbitrary detention. It also recognizes the rights of minorities, self-determination, and protection from slavery.
