HUMAN RIGHTS LAW | LEGAL GLOSSARY

Human Rights Law is a branch of law that focuses on protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals. In Kenya, human rights are enshrined in the Constitution and are protected through various legislative provisions and international treaties. Key sources of human rights law include the Kenyan Constitution, regional instruments such as the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, and international instruments like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Human rights law prohibits various forms of human rights violations, including slavery, torture, and unfair convictions. It guarantees the right to life, liberty, and security of individuals, as well as freedom of expression, assembly, and religion. Human rights law plays a crucial role in promoting equality, justice, and the dignity of all individuals in Kenya.

Legal professionals specializing in human rights law work to ensure the protection and enforcement of human rights. They advocate for individuals who have experienced human rights abuses, provide legal advice and representation, and engage in litigation and advocacy to promote human rights principles.
