The principle ofequal treatment stipulates that all people should be treated fairly and without discrimination, based on objective criteria. It is based on the idea that individuals in comparable situations should enjoy the same rights and benefits, which is essential to ensure fairness in various contexts, including labor law. Often associated with equality before the law, this principle asserts that all individuals have equal rights and should be protected in a uniform manner by the legal system. Inscribed in several international texts, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it specifies that "all are equal before the law" and are entitled to equal protection against all forms of discrimination. Equal treatment is therefore not limited to the absence of discrimination, but also implies a positive obligation to ensure that rights are applied uniformly.
