The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is a key international treaty that aims to protect the civil and political rights of individuals. Adopted by the United Nations in 1966, it ensures rights such as freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial, and the right to privacy. Countries that sign the ICCPR commit to respecting and promoting these rights for all people within their borders. The ICCPR is part of a broader framework of human rights treaties, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It establishes a system for monitoring compliance, allowing individuals to seek justice if their rights are violated. This treaty plays a crucial role in promoting democracy and protecting human dignity worldwide.
