It is the objective of UDHR to recognize the inherent dignity, equality and inalienable rights of a man which become the basis of freedom, justice and peace regardless the gender, race and religion of the person. The UN Protocol has supplemented the Declaration by providing a standard approach to state parties in combating the trafficking.
