"Principles Principle 1 Sexuality is an important part of being human, whether or not a person chooses to be sexually active. Being healthy and able to express one’s sexuality freely is central to every person being able to develop and participate in the economic, social, cultural and political arenas. Principle 2 IPPF recognises that people under eighteen are rights holders. The rights and protection of people under eighteen are sometimes different to that of adults. These differences apply for all aspects of human rights but require particular approaches in regard to sexual rights. The best interests of those under eighteen should always be protected and their evolving capacity to make decisions for themselves should be recognised. Principle 3 IPPF believes that the basis of human rights protection and promotion and enjoyment/fulfilment is non-discrimination. This means that no one should be treated differently or unequally because of their sexuality, sex, age or gender. Principle 4 People should be able to enjoy their sexuality and be free to choose whether or not they want to reproduce. Principle 5 Everyone has the right to be protected from all harm. All people under eighteen should have special protection from all forms of exploitation. Principle 6 Sexual rights can only be limited by law in order to ensure for the goal of ensuring recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others in accordance with human rights law. The freedom to express one’s sexuality should only be limited by law if it is: 1 to protect and respect others’ rights and freedoms and 2 to ensure the general public welfare in a democratic society, 3 to protect public health and public order. Any restrictions resulting from such limits and in proportion must be necessary, proportionate to the achievement of a genuinely legitimate aim. Principle 7 States have the obligation to respect, protect and fulfil sexual rights for all. The obligation to fulfil requires States to adopt appropriate measures towards the full realisation of the right."
