Human rights should be unifying standards, based on universal values.
Human rights education should be made accessible to all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, believe, social or educational background, citizenship status, gender, age or any other ground of discrimination.
Human Rights Education should be seen as a lifelong learning process, an ongoing education during the whole life.
Human Rights Education should be based on the principles of inclusiveness, gender perspective, non-discrimination; it should promote active participation and should work for empowerment and cooperation.
Human Rights Education should pay specific attention to the vulnerable groups in the societies, including children and young people, girls and women, ethnic, racial and religious minorities, refugees, legal and illegal immigrants, persons with disabilities, persons with addictions and other public health problems, persons with literacy limitations, socially disadvantaged groups.
