Human Rights Standards Checklist

A Human Rights Standards Checklist is a tool used to assess the compliance of a particular policy, program, or practice with international human rights standards. The checklist typically includes a list of key human rights principles and obligations, such as non-discrimination, participation, and accountability, as well as specific indicators or benchmarks for measuring compliance. Human rights standards checklists are an important tool for promoting the integration of human rights considerations into all aspects of policy and practice, and for identifying areas where improvements are needed to ensure full respect for human rights. They can be used by governments, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to assess and monitor human rights performance, and to promote greater transparency and accountability in the protection and promotion of human rights.
