Human Rights

legal provisions in relation to Human Rights under UN commission

HUMAN RIGHTS is derived from the principle of Natural Law. It is not the product of social order and nor the conferred upon the individual by the society. It is the result of recognition by the state but they are logically independent of the legal system for their existence.

Definition-  HUMAN RIGHTS are those fundamental  and inalienable rights which are essential for life as human being. It is inherent in our nature and without which we cannot live as a human being.

Louis Henkin- HUMAN RIGHTS are rights of individuals in society, which are deemed essential for individual well being, dignity, and fulfillment, and that reflect a common sense of justice, fairness and decency.

Section 2(1)(d) of the protection of HUMAN RIGHTS Act 1993- HUMAN RIGHTS means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the international covenants and enforceable by courts in India.

Art 55 of UNO Charter-conditions or stability and well being which are necessary for peaceful and friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self determination of people.

Philosophy of HUMAN RIGHTS- the philosophy of HUMAN RIGHTS is based on Individual natural rights and social respect which are essential element for the human life, in other word it is- respect for human rights and fundamental freedom.

HUMAN RIGHTS and International law-

HUMAN RIGHTS plays an important role in international law, according to Art 1 of UN- to achieve international co operation in solving international problems of an economic, social cultural.

The Universal declaration on HUMAN RIGHTS possesses legal value.  In the veiw of Judge Nagendra Singh- the declaration therefore was not mere resolution of the General Assembly but a continuation of the charter and had the dignity of the charter.
