This is a list of human rights as written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and their realization in various Ajax countries.

List

Right	Country	Realised	Details
Right to Equality	Erishlands	Yes	Article 2, Chapter 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of the Erish Federation bars undue legal discrimination on the basis of sex, age, heritage, race, origin, nationality, residence, language, wealth, ability, culture, opinion, faith or creed.
	Ghant	Yes	The Constitution of Ghant guarantees equality before the law, with all rights and freedoms given to all.
	Latium	Yes	Article 18 of the Modern Constitutional Act guarantees equality before the law, providing rights and freedoms.
	Lyncanestria	Yes	Right to equality before the law is guaranteed in the Royal Charter.
	Mutul	Partially	The Constitution of 1828 disbanded the separated courts for the commoners and nobles and allowed for commoners to access superior education. However, the religious caste and the aristocracy still enjoy some form of minor privileges over commoners.
	North Ottonia	Yes	All North Ottonian citizens are considered equal.
	South Ottonia	No	South Ottonia maintains a legal distinction between commoners and nobility. This generally manifests in the form of differing court systems, as well as eligibility to hold certain offices. Additionally, members of the Fabrian Church receive additional privileges that are not extended to those of other faiths.
	Sydalon	Partial
	Uluujol	Yes
	Vannois	Yes
	Yisrael	Partial	As an religious ethnostate, Yisrael does not extend an absolute ideal of equality to its citizens who are of minority, non-Jewish faiths. Under Yisraeli civil and secular law, both Jewish and non-Jewish citizens are generally held to be equal; however, under religious and spiritual laws, there are institutions for the majority population as well as "confessional" systems for non-Jewish citizens to be tried and regulated in such religious affairs by Government of Yisrael-approved religious authorities of that faith, e.g. Fabrian Catholic Church, etc.
Freedom from Discrimination	Erishlands	Yes
	Ghant	Yes	Discrimination on the basis of ability/disability, age, ethnicity, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation is banned.
	Latium	Yes	Acts of the Senate, as well as imperial edits, prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, gender, race, nationality or religion.
	Lyncanestria	Yes	Legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, age, race, orientation, nationality and religion.
	Mutul	Yes
	North Ottonia	Yes	Discrimination based on any socio-economic status (age, sex/gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, nationality, social class, income, ability/disability, or religion) is illegal in housing, employment, service, and allocation of benefits. Certain factors (pet ownership, criminal background) can legally be discriminated against for health, safety, or security reasons, according to specific guidelines under specific circumstances. These instances can be challenged as unlawful if the discriminated party believes that those rare extenuating circumstances did not apply.
	South Ottonia	No	Discrimination due to age, sex, or gender, ability/disability, income, or race/ethnicity are illegal. However, discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender nonconformity, nationality (specifically North Ottonians), religious identity (generally non-Sarpetic faiths other than Judaism), and social class are all considered implicitly legal due to a lack of statutory action preventing them.
	Sydalon	Partial
	Uluujol	Yes	Although there is provision for extenuating circumstances (when failure to discriminate would result in a threat to public safety, such as a health, fire, or building code violation, for example), generally speaking discrimination is not legal within the Khaganate, and extenuating circumstances require the would-be discriminator to submit a written, affirmative defense of their decision to local legal authorities prior to or within 24 hours of the act.
	Vannois	Yes
	Yisrael	Partial	Given there is an official legal division between religious-based legal duties, obligations, and conduct between the Jewish and non-Jewish populations, there are different legal standards for religious conduct. However, in the civil and secular realm, both populations are held on the same level.
Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security	Erishlands	Yes	Life and freedom are considered inviolable under Article 1, Chapter 1, Section 1 of the Constitution of the Erish Federation, which defines life as "the right to the existence and physical and mental integrity of one’s life", and freedom as "the right to what choices enhance one’s living experience, without fear of the ability of another to arbitrarily and willfully interfere and worsen it by restricting choice, or changing or determining the fruits thereof." Article 2, Chapter 4, Section 1 of the Constitution guarantees the "the personal, political, civil and social safety and security necessary to advance [one's] freedom."
	Ghant	Yes
	Latium	Yes
	Lyncanestria	Yes
	Mutul	Yes
	North Ottonia	Yes	North Ottonia's New Foundation Constitution prohibits the deprivation of life without due process, with the beginning of life defined as the point at which "a being is capable of drawing breath". In addition, the New Foundation lays out the right to privacy and to "a domicile", which can be applied to any space in which a person has slept for at least one week, or expected to do so on a permanent basis, with the expectation of privacy. Although this typically applies to constructed homes, in practice this protection has also been extended to tents, rooms occupied by squatters, and temporary lodgings where there was not adequate signage to negate the expectation of privacy. If a person can reasonably treat an area as a "domicile", then a court order is required for the place to be accessed by authorities.
	South Ottonia	Partial	South Ottonia defines life as beginning at conception. As such, abortions and executions cannot be carried out without due process, requiring a legal sentence in the case of the latter and legal approval in the case of the former. There is a presumption of privacy for persons and within permanent domiciles.
	Sydalon	Yes
	Uluujol	No	There is a presumption of privacy within a person's permanent residence. There is no presumption of privacy in public. Moreover, while the arbitrary deprivation of life is not permitted, the government does make heavy use of the death penalty.
	Vannois	Yes
	Yisrael	Partial	In Yisrael, the principle of pikuach nefesh (preservation of life) overrules all but a handful of actions. Among world nations, the Jewish kingdom has some of the strictest laws protecting life at all levels of development. There is also religious and secular law that promotes and protects a "zone of privacy" that includes many similar perspectives on 'liberty' and 'personal security' as understood by the Western Christian world. However, this system of ordered liberty is subordinate to religious law, which is typically in contrast to other countries, thus Yisrael scoring a partial score on this principle.
Freedom from Slavery	Erishlands	Yes
	Ghant	Yes	Slavery was never legal.
	Latium	Yes
	Lyncanestria	Yes	The indentured servitude system that had been common in the medieval times was largely gone by the 16th century. Slavery and serfdom has been illegal in Lyncanestria since its independence in 1867.
	Mutul	Yes	The enslavement of any free man was forbidden by Divine Decree in 1771. Because the status of slave is not inherited per traditional Mutuleses laws, slavery had been effectively eradicated in the Mutul by the following generation.
	North Ottonia	Yes	Slavery and indentured servitude have never been legal in the Federation; the practice was outlawed among the various Ottonian predecessor nations in the late 18th century, prior to unification.
	South Ottonia	Partial	Slavery and indentured servitude remain illegal by statute in South Ottonia. However, forced labor for criminals in penal settings, as well as debtors prisons making use of forced labor, remain legal.
	Sydalon	Yes
	Uluujol	Partial	Involuntary labor in penal settings is permitted, but slavery and indentured servitude outside of these settings is strictly illegal.
	Vannois	Yes
	Yisrael	Yes
Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment	Erishlands	Yes	Article 2, Chapter 1, Section 7 of the Constitution of the Erish Federation bars "cruelty, torture, or any other treatment which degrades [one's] dignity for any reason." Chapter 2, Section 4 of the same Article bars extradition to any country in which one faces "death, torture, or any other degrading treatment."
	Ghant	Yes
	Latium	Partially
	Lyncanestria	Partially	Though illegal by statute to implement on Imperial citizens in times of peace, the Lyncanestrian military is known to exploit loopholes in these laws; most notably in the Revolts of 1989.
	Mutul	No	Torture and corporal punishment are still used by the justice system for some crimes, such as the Wayeb Mark.
	North Ottonia	Yes	Torture and degrading treatment have been illegal by statute since 1958.
	South Ottonia	Partial	South Ottonian nationals are protected by statute from degrading or torturous treatment since 1988. The wording of the statute only specifies "citizens", which renders its exact meaning ambiguous, and has led some to accuse the South Ottonian government of continuing to utilize torture against non-citizens and foreigners under certain circumstances.
	Sydalon	Partial
	Uluujol	No	Although Uluujoli law does require due process prior to such treatment, torture, cruel punishment, or degrading treatment are permissible legal penalties within the Khaganate in many jurisdictions at the discrtion of local authorities.
	Vannois	Yes
	Yisrael	Partially	While torture and degrading treatment is usually illegal, under religious law there are certain times flogging may be authorized as a court-ordered punishment, e.g. persuading a divorcing husband withholding a get from his ex-wife [so she can remarry] to relent and grant the get or certain extreme High Dishonor crimes of truly excessive disobedience from children towards parents. Separately, the Yisraeli security forces have been accused by critics and foreign watch groups of engaging in torture and/or dehumanizing conduct against Christian terrorists, although these agencies have denied doing so.

Right to a Nationality and the Freedom to Change It	Allamunnic States	Yes	The Allamunnic States permits dual nationality, but denies dual citizenship; a person cannot be a full citizen of another country while still exercising Allamunnic citizenship. However, they may still identify themselves as an Allamunnic national or legal resident.
	Erishlands	Yes	Dual nationality is permitted under Erish federal law.
	Ghant	Yes
	Latium	Partial
	Lyncanestria	Yes
	Mutul	No	Dual nationality and dual citizenship are not recognized by the Mutulese law. Mutulese nationality is also linked to the practice of the White Path and therefore one cannot change religion without loosing his Mutulese citizenship in the process.

Right to Marriage and Family	Allamunnic States	Yes	Members of state royal families may have prospective marriages vetoed by the federal government if the union is deemed to be contrary to the interests of the Allamunnic people.

	Ghant	Yes
	Latium	Partially	Marriage is legally defined as solely between a man and a woman.
	Lyncanestria	Partially	Marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman; though same sex couples may enter into a civil union, legally these two distinctions are not given the same rights and privileges.
	Mutul	Yes	Even if with technical differences in the rituals, a couple can be formed and be officialy recognized in the Mutul, be it between a man and a woman or same sex. Marriage between a commoner and a noble are allowed, but the agreement of the noble's family is necessary.
	Sydalon	Partial

Right to Own Property	Allamunnic States	Yes

	Latium	Yes
	Lyncanestria	Yes

	Yisrael	Partial	Judaism is the state religion, though most other major Abrahamic religions are recognized by the Government of Yisrael and they are permitted to be practiced freely. However, paganism and non-Abrahamic faiths are severely suppressed. Relatedly, freedom of conscience regarding illegal ideologies - religious or secular - is protected as long as no action is taken in furthering the unlawful beliefs.
Freedom of Opinion and Information	Allamunnic States	Yes	Some standing allowance is made for the abridgement of public information for national security purposes, particularly classified information.

	Erishlands	Yes	Freedom of assembly and demonstration is guaranteed by Article 2, Chapter 3, Section 4 of the Constitution of the Erish Federation. Freedom of association is guaranteed by Section 6 of the same Chapter. However, organizations which "primarily represent the interests of their members in public, participate in the affairs of the state or state-funded tasks, or which do not face significant competition in their area of activity" are required to allow internal "freedom of opinion, assembly and [association], and [...] equal participation in internal decisions."

	Sydalon	Partial
	Vannois	Yes
