	Human Rights in Latvia in 2003
		For Latvia, 2003 was the last year before accession to the European Union and NATO, which determined much of the policy focus of the country.
		In addition to the problems in prisons (pre-trial detention, conditions and procedures), mental health institutions and the illegal migrants camp, attention was also focused on the issues of police brutality and the lack of independent complaints institutions.
		The coalition For Human Rights in a United Latvia, which consisted of the Peoples Harmony Party, the party Equality and the Socialist Party, broke up in the second half of February, when the Peoples Harmony Party left the coalition.

	Human rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction or other localizing factors, such as ethnicity and nationality.
		The term "human rights" has replaced the term "natural rights" in popularity, because the rights are less and less frequently seen as requiring natural law for their existence.
		Human rights have historically arisen from the need to protect citizens from abuse by the state and this might suggest that all mankind has a duty to intervene and protect people wherever they are.
