---

The International Bill of Human Rights: Fact Sheet No. 2 (Rev. 1) offers a comprehensive introduction to the foundational documents that form the cornerstone of the international human rights framework. It explains the origins, principles, and legal significance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), along with their Optional Protocols. The fact sheet highlights the universality, interdependence, and indivisibility of rights, while also clarifying the obligations of states to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights. It further examines the role of monitoring mechanisms, such as treaty bodies and reporting procedures, in ensuring compliance. Designed as an accessible and practical guide, this resource supports policymakers, scholars, and practitioners in understanding the legal foundations and implementation of the international human rights system.
