Abstract

Meaning and Nature:Human rights are basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. Human Rights are inherent and in alienable rights which are due to an individual by virtue of his/her being a human being. These rights are necessary to ensure the dignity of every person as a human being irrespective of one’s race, religion, nationality, language, sex or any other factor. Human rights are vast, varied and dynamic. They represent so many issues that everything and anything relating to human beings come under its Jurisdiction. They also have significant contribution towards both national policies and politics as well as relations with other international communities.
