Protection of Human Rights and National Human Rights Commission Reflections e-bog

International Human Rights Law primarily aims at protecting individuals and groups from abusive action by states and state agents. India, being a signatory and a founder member of UNO, has tried its best to prevent human rights violations by legislating several laws from time to time since independence. But 1993 is a significant year for the Republic of India and its people as a statutory body i.e. NHRC came into existence to fulfill the aspirations of the people in accordance with the norms of UDHR as regards human rights. This book highlights the details of NHRC and its role in the protection of Human Rights since its formation. The purpose of the book is to make people aware of human rights violations and to inform them how they will get rid of the problems when human rights are violated. Apart from this, book will be useful for sociologists, researchers, professors, law students, human rights activists, administrators, security personnel and many others who are devoted to the noble cause of humanity.
