- Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
- Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.
- Article 5: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.
- Article 7: All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.
- Article 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
These articles reflect the core principles of human rights that emphasize dignity, equality, and respect for all individuals.
