The United States has a most capable legal structure that protects human rights mostly by virtue of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and federal and state legislation. The US does not have a modern codified Human Rights Act as many nations do, but its legal system has protection for basic rights and liberty. Najla Law Firm offers professional legal advice on human rights issues to ensure federal and international legal compliance.
Most Notable Aspects of Protection of Human Rights in the US
1️⃣ Constitutional Rights
The United States Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and due process. These rights form the basis of protection of human rights in US law.
2️⃣ Civil Rights Act of 1964
The largest one-piece piece of legislation on human rights, the Act bans color, religion, sex, race, or national origin discrimination.
Also assured under the Act is public accommodation on equal terms and the right of employment.
3️⃣ Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The ADA became law in 1990 and it shields people with disabilities from employment discrimination, in public programs, and in nearly every other aspect of life. ADA is essential to supply equality and access.
4️⃣ International Human Rights Treaties
The US has international human rights programs, including the United Nations treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). While all international treaties are not enforceable by US courts, they do have implications for domestic legal interpretation and policy.
