HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW

LAW

Human rights are fundamental rights that every individual has by nature only by virtue of being a human being, as defined by Indian law. Thus, the concept of human rights is impartial and universal. These rights may be recognized by municipal, regional, national, or international legislation as legal rights or as natural rights. A number of legally binding treaties and conventions safeguard human rights. But nowadays, the word "human rights" is overused and misused. Numerous instances of human rights violations have gained attention. These incidents pointed out as key issues the lack of accountability for security personnel and the impunity for abusive policing, which includes "police inhumanity, unlawful executions, and humiliation." The "right to freely express oneself, the liberty of individual, the freedom of people, the liberty to possess assets, and fair chances" are among the fundamental rights that are occasionally violated, as well. Thus, there is a need for a thorough investigation of human rights, particularly for India, which is under tremendous pressure from a society that sees widespread human rights violations. Therefore, the term "Human Rights violation" denotes a relatively narrow interpretation of Fundamental Rights, although the research covers a wide range of topics pertaining to the meaning, comprehension, application, and extent of Human Rights in general. It provides an overview of fundamental rights by beginning with the jurisprudential principles of rights and connecting them to Natural Rights and Legal Rights.
