Rights protection encompasses legal, institutional, and grassroots efforts to prevent and respond to human rights violations. It includes monitoring, documentation, advocacy, and legal enforcement of rights guaranteed under international law.
Key instruments include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international treaties, and national human rights commissions. In conflict and humanitarian contexts, rights protection is closely linked to international humanitarian law and refugee protection frameworks.
