Abstract

International human rights concepts norms and standards evolved from a European discourse that focused on individual civil liberties and civil and political rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (1948) had a broad vision of equality. The focus was on civil liberties of the individual but there were references to economic social and cultural rights including the right to “just and favorable” conditions of work, an adequate standard of living, shelter, education and health. (Art 22-26).

We are aware that all rights may be self-evident and constitutionally secured; however, they do not automatically implement themselves. Government agencies play a major role for implementation of these laws. 

Many individuals don't know even about the term human rights. 60% of India is in country territory where 80% individuals are oblivious about their own rights. Indian constitution has isolate revision on human rights. We have passed up a great opportunity in wrongdoing diminishment. Additionally, the greatest obstacle in execution of human rights is debasement. Also, we need to acknowledge the way that even following 64 years our legislature can't forestall violations against human rights. The role of  the National Human Rights Commission is very important and publicized.
