To answer in detail could fill many pages but I will attempt to keep my answer brief.
The first thing to consider is what do we refer to when we talk of human rights?
Well, human rights are essentially moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour, and protected as legal rights in national and international laws, including in aspects of the Solomon Islands National Constitution and in other local statutes.
Such principles are commonly understood as invaluable or fundamental rights to which a person is entitled because he or she is a human being, regardless of language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status.
