European Union law (historically called “European Community law”) is a body of
treaties and legislation, such as Regulations and Directives, which have direct
effect or indirect effect on the laws of European Union member states. The
three sources of European Union law are primary law, secondary law and
supplementary law. The main sources of primary law are the Treaties
establishing the European Union. Secondary sources include regulations and
directives which are based on the Treaties. The legislature of the European
Union is principally composed of the European Parliament and the Council of
the European Union, which under the Treaties may establish secondary law to
pursue the objective set out in the Treaties.

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are
considered entitled: the right to life, liberty, freedom of thought and
expression, and equal treatment before the law, among others. These rights
represent entitlements of the individual or groups vis-B-vis the government,
as well as responsibilities of the individual and the government authorities.

Such rights are ascribed “naturally,” which means that they are not earned and
cannot be denied on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity or gender. These rights
are often advanced as legal rights and protected by the rule of law. However,
they are distinct from and prior to law, and can be used as standards for
formulating or criticizing both local and international law. It is typically thought
that the conduct of governments and military forces must comply with these
​standards.
