  • 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.

  • Water Resource Competition in the Brahmaputra River Basin: China, India, and Bangladesh Nilanthi Samaranayake, Satu Limaye, and Joel Wuthnow
    Water Resource Competition in the Brahmaputra River Basin: China, India, and Bangladesh Nilanthi Samaranayake, Satu Limaye, and Joel Wuthnow May 2016 Distribution unlimited This document represents the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. Distribution Distribution unlimited. Specific authority contracting number: 14-106755-000-INP. For questions or comments about this study, contact Nilanthi Samaranayake at [email protected] Cover Photography: Brahmaputra River, India: people crossing the Brahmaputra River at six in the morning. Credit: Encyclopædia Britannica ImageQuest, "Brahmaputra River, India," Maria Stenzel / National Geographic Society / Universal Images Group Rights Managed / For Education Use Only, http://quest.eb.com/search/137_3139899/1/137_3139899/cite. Approved by: May 2016 Ken E Gause, Director International Affairs Group Center for Strategic Studies Copyright © 2016 CNA Abstract The Brahmaputra River originates in China and runs through India and Bangladesh. China and India have fought a war over contested territory through which the river flows, and Bangladesh faces human security pressures in this basin that will be magnified by upstream river practices. Controversial dam-building activities and water diversion plans could threaten regional stability; yet, no bilateral or multilateral water management accord exists in the Brahmaputra basin. This project, sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, provides greater understanding of the equities and drivers fueling water insecurity in the Brahmaputra River basin. After conducting research in Dhaka, New Delhi, and Beijing, CNA offers recommendations for key stakeholders to consider at the subnational, bilateral, and multilateral levels to increase cooperation in the basin. These findings lay the foundation for policymakers in China, India, and Bangladesh to discuss steps that help manage and resolve Brahmaputra resource competition, thereby strengthening regional security.

  • 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.

  • UG CLAT 2020 – Sample Paper 1 English Language
    UG CLAT 2020 – Sample paper 1 English Language Each set of questions in this section is based on a single passage. Please answer each question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the corresponding passage. In some instances, more than one option may be the answer to the question; in such a case, please choose the option that most accurately and comprehensively answers the question. 1. In a letter written in January 1885 to his friend Pramatha Chaudhuri, Tagore spoke of the tension in his own mind between the contending forces of East and West. ‘I sometimes detect in myself,’ he remarked, ‘a background where two opposing forces are constantly in action, one beckoning me to peace and cessation of all strife, the other egging me on to battle. It is as though the restless energy and the will to action of the West were perpetually assaulting the citadel of my Indian placidity. Hence this swing of the pendulum between passionate pain and calm detachment, between lyrical abandon and philosophising between love of my country and mockery of patriotism, between an itch to enter the lists and a longing to remain wrapped in thought.’ Tagore’s mission to synthesise East and West was part personal, part civilizational. In time it also became political. In the early years of the twentieth century, the intelligentsia of Bengal was engulfed by the swadeshi movement, where protests against British rule were expressed by the burning of foreign cloth and the rejection of all things western. After an initial enthusiasm for the movement, Tagore turned against it.
