Portuguese term

A dignidade inalienável da pessoa humana sem discriminações

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Code of Ethics
Struggling to phrase this elegantly. It's from a company's code of ethics under 'princípios éticos fundamentais'. To US English. Thanks for your help.


Os princípios éticos fundamentais são a base do nosso Código e devem
nortear as atitudes de todos os colaboradores do XXX. São
eles:
• ***A dignidade inalienável da pessoa humana sem discriminações.***
• O bem comum prevalecendo sobre os interesses individuais.
• A valorização do trabalho como realização do ser humano.
• O estímulo à criatividade e o respeito às iniciativas.
• A solidariedade e o incentivo ao desenvolvimento do ser humano.

That is what I tried to convey.
T o b i a s Aug 15, 2012:
sem discriminações I think this is a failed attempt to convey the idea of 'the right not to be discriminated against'

Every person's alienable right to dignity, without discrimination

The inalienable human right to dignity...
