The entire established system of international legal protection of social rights is fulfilled by the idea of decent human existence. Its norms, defending at first glance the heterogeneous categories of social rights – labor, social, health and educational – are united by the unified principle of dignified life. Decent human existence justifies the unity and indivisibility of all social rights. It is the moral source of their protection under international law.
