International election standards are a set of principles and implementation guidelines for elections which have basis in the public international human rights law instruments.[1] Sources of these standards are international (universal and regional) treaties, international customary law, political commitments, and internationally agreed principles of good practice adopted by governmental and non-governmental organisations.[2]
