5All human rights are universal, indivisible and interdependent and interrelated. The in- ternational community must treat human rights globally in a fair and equal manner, on the same footing, and with the same emphasis. While the significance of national and regional particulari- ties and various historical, cultural and religious backgrounds must be borne in mind, it is the duty of States, regardless of their political, economic and cultural systems, to promote and pro- tect all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
