ABSTRACT

Human rights are inherent rights and freedoms that belong to every individual by virtue of their humanity. They are universal, indivisible, and inalienable, meaning they apply to all people, cannot be taken away, and are interrelated and interdependent. Human rights are based on the principles of dignity, equality, and non-discrimination. However, the level of protection and enforcement of human rights can vary within countries, depending on various factors such as political will, societal attitudes, and the effectiveness of institutions. In some countries, human rights may face challenges due to ongoing conflicts, authoritarian regimes, or lack of resources for enforcement. Additionally, some countries may be criticized for their human rights records, as international pressure and advocacy play a role in addressing such issues on the global stage.

  As for India it’s important to note that the Indian government has taken steps to address some of these concerns and has established institutions such as the National Human Rights Commission and various legal frameworks to safeguard human rights. However, effective implementation, ensuring accountability, and addressing gaps and challenges in protecting and promoting human rights remain ongoing tasks for India. This article explores the importance of protecting human rights, key international instruments, ongoing challenges, and the collective efforts required to build a more just and inclusive world.
