HUMAN RIGHTS: ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS INTRODUCTION Human Rights are commonly understood as ―inalienable fundamental rights‖ to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being. Human Rights are thus conceived as universal and egalitarian. At the international level human rights have become a movement. It can be studied through many ways which is called as the constituents of Human Rights. They may be civil rights, political, economic, cultural, social rights. They are also called Fundamental Rights. and rights of freedom to everyone irrespective of caste, creed, sex, region, colour, profession, etc. CONCEPT OF HUMAN RIGHTS Human Rights is a 20th century term traditionally known as ―Natural Rights‖ or the ―Rights of Man‖. Broadly speaking, ―Human Right‖ means right to life, liberty, equality and the dignity of an individual irrespective of caste, creed or sex. It envisages that all human beings are born free, equal in dignity and rights and are entitled to enjoy all rights. Evolution of Human Rights: The roots of human rights can be traced to the Babylonian laws. The Babylonian King Hammurabi issued a set of laws to his people called ―Hammurabi‘s Codes‖, which contained fair wages, protection of property and charges against them to be proved at trial. Greek philosopher Plato, Aristotle and Roman philosopher Cicero advocated the natural law, natural rights and human rights. The origin of human rights also can be credited to era of Renaissance Humanism in the early modern period. Prior to this habeas corpus had been explained in the Magna Carta of 1215 A.D. The European wars of religion and the civil wars of 17th century England gave rise to the philosophy of liberalism and belief in human rights became a significant concern of European intellectual culture during 18th century ―Age of Enlightenment‖. The idea of human rights lay at the core of the American and French revolutions which paved the way for the advent of universal suffrage. The World Wars of the 20thcentury led to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Magna Carta (1215) The Magna Carta was issued on 15 June, 1215 also called Magna Carta Liberate or the Great Charter of the Liberties of England. The 1215 charter required King John of England to proclaim certain liberties and accept that his will was not arbitrary. For example by explicitly accepting that no ―freeman‖ (non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land, a right which is still in existence in England.

The Bill of Rights (1689) The Bill of Rights 1688 is an Act of the Parliament of England passed on 16 December 1689. This lays down limits on the powers of sovereign and sets out the rights of Parliament and rules for freedom of speech in Parliament, the requirement to regular elections to Parliament and the right to petition the monarch without fear of retribution. US Declaration of Independence (1776) The Declaration of Independence was a statement adopted by the continental Congress on 4July 1776 which announce that the 13 American Colonies, then at war with Great Britain regarded themselves as independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire. It contained that all men are created equal are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. This view was notably promoted by Abraham Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the foundation of his political philosophy. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen( 1793) It is a fundamental document of the French Revolution defining the individual and collective rights of all the Estates of the realm as universal. It was adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, but after modifications it w as adopted in 1793. According to this, ―Men are born and remain free and equal in rights.‖ Therefore, the role of government is to recognize and secure the rights of liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression of the human beings.

Language Linguistic discrimination is the unfair treatment of an individual based solely on his of her use of language. Colour Discrimination based on skin colour is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which people are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin colour Gender based Violence Violence against women is often known as ‗gender -based‘ violence.

Religious Discrimination Religious discrimination is treating individuals differently because of their religion, religious beliefs and practices, Education Discrimination in education is the act of discriminating people belonging to certain categories in enjoying full right to education. It is considered a violation of enunciated human rights. Education discrimination can be on the basis of ethnicity, nationality, age,gender, race, economic condition, disability and religion. Urban, Non-Urban: Rural areas are cut off from technological development and suffers Poor infrastructure. This results in social isolation. But the urban society has well developed nodes, technical development and a seed infrastructure. Economy: Constitution says ―all are equal before law‖ but in reality, rich people lead a sophisticated life, with special privileges because of their wealthiness. The poor people could not get good education, home, sanitation and dress. This led them to accept rich people as their masters. Human Rights Definition: Each individual must have some rights not only to survive in the community, but also to make their life better. In this sense, rights are basic freedom that all people should have - human rights are concerned with the dignity of the individual—the level of self-esteem that secure personal identity and promotes human community. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever be the nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status.

UNIT II UNO and Human Rights Commission: The United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) was a functional commission within the overall framework of the United Nations from 1946 until it was replaced by the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2006. It was a subsidiary body of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and was also assisted in its work by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR). It was the UN's principal mechanism and international forum concerned with the promotion and protection of human rights History: The UNCHR was established in 1946. It met for the first time in January 1947 and established a drafting committee for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. The body went through two distinct phases. From 1947 to 1967, it followed the policy of absenteeism, which meant that the Commission would concentrate on promoting human rights and helping states elaborate treaties, but not on investigating or condemning violators. It was a period of strict observance of the sovereignty principle.

It is a widespread and persistent challenge in India, linked directly to patriarchy and its foundational belief that men have the privilege and the power to inflict violence upon women. Rooted in women’s subordinate status, it is linked both to the institution of patriarchy as well as the concept of masculinity – that a ‘real man’ is one who inflicts violence against women. GBV is a major obstacle in women’s enjoyment of their human rights and fundamental rights as guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. 11.2 OBJECTIVES After Completing this Unit, you will be able to: Know the concept of gender-based violence; Illustrate forms of gender-based violence and the extent of their prevalence in India and elsewhere; Identify causes and consequences of such violence; Highlight various ways of addressing and responding to such violence, including through law and social action.

    VOL.3 ISSUE 1 DROIT PENALE: INDIAN LAW JOURNAL ON CRIME & CRIMINOLOGY ISSN: 2456-7280 THWARTING CRIME AGAINST WOMEN: MEETING CHALLENGES THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION Tulika Sinha1 ABSTRACT Historically speaking, women have been always subjected to whims and ambitions of men. This has laid foundation to several types of crimes and atrocities on them. To prevent such crime and atrocity has been challenge for the society as a whole that includes our legal structure also. Our legal system has laid several laws time and again in order to meet the challenges, so posed in emancipation of women and doing away with the atrocities against women. Time has proved that laws alone cannot meet such challenges and that requires to be met with its proper application working and monitoring. Precisely law can be considered as means and not ends to meet the challenges thrown to it. This paper mainly aims to discuss how women have been subjected to atrocities since time immemorial, be it the ‘sati pratha’ or the ‘triple talaq’ system. It has always acted as tools to suppress women. The present paper will further discuss how continuous suppression has made women vulnerable to crime and criminal acts. This paper will throw light on how law prevents commission of crime against women and what kind of challenges it faces. These challenges will be dealt in two sections firstly in prevention of crime, that is how our legal system tries to set guidelines to regulate ones behavior and activity so that it prevents one from commission of crime and secondly in administration of justice that is in case any crime is committed, laying down rigorous punishment so that it deters the rest and helps such women to get justice and restore their status.

  • Acid Attacks Against Women in India on the Rise: Case Study
    International Journal of Future Generation Communication and Networking Vol. 13, No. 2, 2020 pp.809-819 Acid Attacks Against Women in India on the Rise: Case Study Dr. Arpana Bansal Assistant professor University School of Law Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda,Punjab Abstract Hundreds of acid attack cases take place every year in India. These incidents largely arise out of the rejection of unwanted male attention. Disgruntled fathers, disenchanted lovers, jealous colleagues or those seeking revenge against a family, make women their target. Acid, as ubiquitous as toilet-cleaning liquids, are readily available at corner stores. Acid has emerged as the most preferred weapon of violence against women. While it destroys the skin in a matter of seconds, no amount of corrective medical surgery can bring the skin back to normal. Each surgery costs around Dh8,000 (Rs. 150,000 to Rs. 200,000).Attackers will usually throw acid on the face, resulting in scarring, deformity and permanent injuries, like blindness for example. The treatment is a prolonged one and the victims go through several surgeries, each more painful than the one before. Scarred for life, they are ridiculed and feared and often held responsible for the attack not just by society, but also by their own families. India tops the charts when it comes to acid attacks. A country where the sale of acid over the counter was banned in 2013, we have too many cases and most where women are attacked as part of domestic violence or for dowries. In the light of Chhapaak, the Deepika Padukone film on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi, we look at the current statistics and data on women and acid attack accidents.
