International agreements such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and various treaties, like the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, address issues of human rights on a global scale. These agreements aim to establish standards for the treatment of individuals and outline obligations for countries to protect and promote human rights. They provide frameworks for advocacy and accountability, enabling civil society organizations and individuals to demand rights protections. Ratifying these international agreements signifies a country's commitment to uphold human dignity and promote justice and equality.
