Human Rights

 

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity “ so said Nelson Mandela.

It is undeniable that human rights violation is one of the most challenging issue in the world. The term human right is a dynamic concept. Human rights are the basic natural rights for the peaceful survival of the people. The expression “Human Right” denotes all those rights, which are inherent in our nature without which we cannot live as a human being. violation of human rights is a global phenomenon . Now even after 70 –years of independence, India still continues to suffer from significant human right violation, despite of framing of many laws and policies and promising and making commitment to tackle the problems. The principal objective of both India and international laws is to protect the human personality and its fundamental rights.

Analysis

In order to understand Human Rights Violation, we need to first understand the definition of human right which is defined  under section 2 (d) of the Protection of human right act 1993 which says:- human rights as the rights relating to life , liberty, equality and dignity of individual guaranteed by the constitution or embodied in the international covenants and enforceable by court of india. The universal declaration of human right has emphasized that it is an obligation of state to ensure every one the right to adequate food,education and right to enjoy highest attainable standards of physical and mental health in our society. Human right may be called the basic right, the fundamental right, the natural right or the inherent rights. Our constitution safe guard the human rights , but in spite of all such provision the violation of human rights taking place frequently in society. Cases of child marriage, domestic violence , dowry, sexual harassment child abuse, child labour ,custodial violence have become rampant in the society.

Numerous studied have consistently found that in India majority of the people are illiterate, poor and exploited where violations human rights are bound to be more; but where the people are educated , advance, they are likely to be less prone to in human treatment and exploitation. Apart from the various schemes,laws,acts launchched by government still in many areas continued to fall short both with respect of legal reform and implementation. Government still needs to pay more attention towards their laws and policies and check whether it is properly carried out.

 The role of Nationa human right commission is appreciable. The commission has grabbed the problem a little but canot be blamed for its failure as the entire society is involved in this violence.The proper implementation of the human right act also need full cooperation of the government and non government agencies. Of course , realisation of human rights cannot be achieved solely through legislation and administration arrangements. In recognition of this fact ,commission are often entrusted with the important responsibility of improving community awareness of human rights.

Conclusion

There is a dire need to sensitize the women, children, youth and various other communities of the people to spread about human rights  and different ways to break its shackles. finally it should be noted that a human right commission is not a prerequisite for a government to uphold the human rights of its citizens. Other state institution such as an independent of judiciary ,or a representative legislation ,can equally provided oversight to ensure recourse and redress to human right abuses.

No nhrc,government ,ngo and specialization agencies can protect fully the human right cases in every cornor of the country, but we the people should be united and create awareness in the society regarding the eternal values of life ,personal liberty and dignity of individual so that it will minimized the human right cases in the country.

The right of every man are diminished when the right of one man are threatened.

the human right is not one what some one give you .........

it is what no one can take away your human right
