i was going to say human rights but then again...

Hello and welcome, ehesh!

Unfortunately a lot of these words are not available in Na'vi. :(
However, it would be nice to have those rights translated into Na'vi one day. :D

Hello and welcome, ehesh  :)

Welcome ehesh,

From the viewpoint of the Na'vi culture, some of the articles can't be translated easily, because the lack of cultural information and concepts.

But let me try some:

Koren a'awve: Frapor lu tenga skxom sì tson
Article 2 Freedom from Discrimination - we don't have a word for "Discrimination", yet.
Koren apxeyve: Frapo tsun rivey, kivä ne fratseng, livu kxuke
Article 4 Freedom from Slavery - we haven't a word for "Slavery". We don't know (yet) wherther the Na'vi ever have had slavery...
Article 5 Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment - I am not sure how to traslate this properly...
Koren apuve: Ayhorenìl tslam/tse'a frapot na tute
Koren akive: Frapo lu teng eo ayhoren - this seems to be very litteral
Article 8 Right to Remedy by Competent Tribunal - ??
Article 9 Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Exile - missing some words...
Frapo tsun ftxivulì'u nìyll
Article 11 Right to be Considered Innocent until Proven Guilty - No idea how to translate this. I believe there is missing one or two words.
Article 12 Freedom from Interference with Privacy, Family, Home and Correspondence - ??
Koren avomrrve: Frapo tsun kivä fratseng
Article 14 Right to Asylum in other Countries from Persecution - Asylum in Na'vi?
Article 15 Right to a Nationality and the Freedom to Change It - There are no states on Pandora, so there is no concept of this in Na'vi
Koren amevolve: Soaia sì tìmuntxa
Article 17 Right to Own Property - We haven't a grammatical concept of "own" things, yet
Article 18 Freedom of Belief and Religion - hmmm...
Article 19 Freedom of Opinion and Information - We need more words...
Koren amevosìngve: Frapo tsun ultxa sivi nìmwey
Article 21 Right to Participate in Government and in Free Elections - I guess, this would fill an own topic...
Article 22 Right to Social Security - I am not sure how to translate this. Hmm...
Article 23 Right to Desirable Work and to Join Trade Unions - No vocab for this, yet.
Koren apxevolve: Tìsyor sì tìk'ìn
Koren apxevolawve: Lefpoma tìrey - this is tricky
Koren apxevomune: Sänumvi

And for these:
Article 27 Right to Participate in the Cultural Life of Community
Article 28 Right to a Social Order that Articulates this Document
Article 29 Community Duties Essential to Free and Full Development
Article 30 Freedom from State or Personal Interference in the above Rights
...missing some useful words.

A society like the Na'vi would not know the concept.

"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Probably.

Translating this word needs a bit of work.

I'm not so sure about that... There have been wars amongst the clans. It's a very common form of warfare to treat the opposing force not very kindly (to say it mildly).
Tsu'tey makes fun of Jake all the time in his Avatar body. Don't you think that his snide remarks could be interpreted as discrimination?  ... that later turns into respect? :-\

Btw, we don't have a word for freedom either :P

Toliman

^ True idea.
But it's depend on interpretation of world discrimination.

QuoteTsu'tey makes fun of Jake all the time in his Avatar body. Don't you think that his snide remarks could be interpreted as discrimination?
In this case is for me better interpretation as derogation, disdain.

Koren A'awve
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Fratuteru a 'ongokx livu txew akea sì leioae ulte livu teng. Fratuteri lu tirea, tsun fpìvil ulte zivet fìtsap sko smuk.

I translated it because I think it's the most known article.

Article 15 Right to a Nationality and the Freedom to Change It - There are no states on Pandora, so there is no concept of this in Na'vi
For the Na'vi, it could be a clan, a nation or a people.
However, I don't think a Na'vi will want to move to another clan unless there's a very special marriage or the clan itself chases the person...

QuoteKoren apxevolawve: Lefpoma tìrey - this is tricky
Adequate living standard...
Tìfkeytok tìreyä livu sìltsan nìtam?

QuoteKoren akive: Frapo lu teng eo ayhoren - this seems to be very litteral
I'd say ìlä instead of eo. What do you think?

QuoteArticle 18 Freedom of Belief and Religion - hmmm...
Article 19 Freedom of Opinion and Information - We need more words...
18. The freedom, the right to have your own beliefs or in a way a fpìlfya?
19. We have säplltxevi (comment) and säomum (information, piece of information). We could also talk about the freedom of speech and to know.

QuoteArticle 22 Right to Social Security - I am not sure how to translate this. Hmm...
One can be safe in a clan.
Fko tsun livu kxukxe mì olo'.

I'm not entirely sure.
