Description:
Final report of the Special Rapporteur, Mr. David Weissbrodt,
submitted in accordance with Sub-Commission decision 2000/103,
Commission resolution 2000/104 and Economic and Social
Council decision 2000/283..."Based on a review of international human rights law, the Special Rapporteur has
concluded that all persons should by virtue of their essential humanity enjoy all human rights
unless exceptional distinctions, for example, between citizens and non-citizens, serve a
legitimate State objective and are proportional to the achievement of that objective. For
example, non-citizens should enjoy freedom from arbitrary killing, inhuman treatment slavery,
forced labour, child labour, arbitrary arrest, unfair trial, invasions of privacy, refoulement and
violations of humanitarian law. They also have the right to marry, protection as minors, peaceful
association and assembly, equality, freedom of religion and belief, social, cultural, and economic
rights in general, labour rights (for example, as to collective bargaining, workers�? compensation,
social security, appropriate working conditions and environment, etc.) and consular protection..."
