  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, INDIA Chairperson NHRC F o r e w o r d The National Human Rights Commission is pleased to present to the Parliament and people of India, its twenty-fourth Annual Report for the period from 01 April 2016 to 31 March 2017. 2. The National Human Rights Commission has completed 24 years of its pioneering work in the promotion and protection of human rights since its establishment on 12 October 1993 under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Since then, the Commission has consistently worked towards bringing a human rights-centered approach in the Government at Central and State levels, as well as towards creating human rights awareness and sensitization amongst public authorities and civil society. Through the years, the Commission has channelized its efforts towards broadening the ambit of human rights to ensure the protection of the civil and political rights of the people as well as safeguard their economic, social, and cultural rights. 3. In a society as diverse as ours, the indivisibility and inter-connectedness of human rights, whether civil and political or economic, social and cultural, is self-evident, especially in respect of the most vulnerable, including people belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Women, Children, Disabled and other vulnerable groups. The deprivation, problems and concerns that confront each of these groups, remained an important area of concern for the Commission during the period under review. 4. Accordingly, during 2016-2017, the Commission continued to intervene in matters concerning civil and political rights, on the basis of suo motu cognizance of media reports as well as complaints received.

  • International Court of Justice (ICJ)
    International Court of Justice (ICJ) drishtiias.com/printpdf/international-court-of-justice-icj About ICJ was established in 1945 by the United Nations charter and started working in April 1946. It is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, situated at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). Unlike the six principal organs of the United Nations, it is the only one not located in New York (USA). It settles legal disputes between States and gives advisory opinions in accordance with international law, on legal questions referred to it by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. It has 193 state parties and current President is Ronny Abraham. Background Article 33 of the United Nations Charter lists the negotiation, enquiry, mediation etc. methods for the pacific settlement of disputes between States. Some of these methods involve the services of third parties. Historically, mediation and arbitration preceded judicial settlement. The former was known in ancient India and the Islamic world, whilst numerous examples of the latter can be found in ancient Greece, in China, among the Arabian tribes, in maritime customary law in medieval Europe, and in Papal practice. The modern history of international arbitration: The first phase is generally recognized as dating back from the so-called Jay Treaty of 1794 between the United States of America and Great Britain. The Alabama Claims arbitration in 1872 between the United Kingdom and the United States marked the start of a second, even more decisive, phase. The Hague Peace Conference of 1899, convened on the initiative of the Russian Czar Nicholas II, marked the beginning of a third phase in the modern history of international arbitration.

  • Chapter 8: Women Boxing in Asia AIBA Has Announced Its Congress That Boxing Will Be Separated Into Male and Female Events in 1994
    Chapter 8: Women boxing in Asia AIBA has announced its congress that boxing will be separated into male and female events in 1994. The first official international tournament for women boxers were held in 1998 while the historical first edition of the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships was scheduled in Scranton, United States in 2001. In Asia, the first demonstration women bout was held during the 8th edition of the South Asian Games in the capital city of Nepal, in Kathmandu in 1999. The pioneers of the women boxing in the Asian continent were India, China, North Korea, Thailand, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Sri Lanka and Philippines. They competed at the first Asian Women’s Championships in Bangkok and that event was held in August 2001. The North Korean squad achieved five gold medals while China took two gold, host Thailand and Philippines both claimed one top position in the Bangkok event. Following that continental event Hong Kong, Mongolia, Indonesia and South Korea also started to prepare their selected female fighters and launched their own national events. The first Japanese Women National Championships were held in 2003, while the historical Kazakh national female event took place in 2005 despite of the fact that the Central Asian country has sent a boxer to different international events three years earlier as well. The second edition of the AIBA Women's World Championships was held in Antalya in 2002 where North Korea, India and China claimed gold among the Asian nations. One year later, at the 2nd Asian Women's Championships in Hisar, the host nation, India topped the team rankings and their star Chungneijang Mary Kom Hmangte claimed her first gold medal in the history of the event.
