Non-discrimination and equality before the law and of the law constitute fundamental principles of international human rights law. The notion of equality is inseparable from that of human dignity essential to each and every person. Respect for human rights and the principles of equality and non-discrimination are interdependent and underpin the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the main international human rights treaties. Additionally, according to the International Court of Justice, the prohibition of racial discrimination constitutes an erga omnes obligation.
