Human beings are rational beings. By virtue of being humans they possess certain basic and inalienable rights which are commonly known as human rights. They are inherent in all the individuals irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex and nationality. These rights are essential for all the individuals as they are consonant with their freedom and dignity and are conducive to physical, moral, social and spiritual welfare. More or less people are aware about their rights but the question is how these rights will be protected. Yes, we have various mechanisms to protect our rights. In this assignment, an attempt has been made to discuss about one of such mechanisms, i.e. the role of National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in protection of human rights. After introducing the topic with the meaning of human rights, next part of the assignment deals with the importance of national institutions of human rights in a country and further discussed the various stages at the international level towards establishment of such institutions. After that position in India has been discussed with the enactment of Protection of Human Rights Act. In addition to that the structure and functioning of NHRC has been discussed in brief and how far it has been effective in protecting human rights in India.
