Yes, they are. The protection of the human rights abuses is protected under the human rights law. The law puts positive obligations towards the victims. It was stated in the Articles 2,3, and 4 in the Human Rights Law that "Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude. No one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labour."
