Each of us is entitled to have these rights for all others. Differences of race, sex, language and colour do not change these rights. Nor do differences of property, social origin, political ideas or religious beliefs. Everyone, regard­ less of who they are and what they do or think is born with hman rights. Rights are essential to enable every person to lead a good life; they are as necessary as light and air, food and clothing. No wonder people have struggled for recognition of their rights since the dawn of history. The struggle has been carried on against autocratic kings,dictators and other despots whO/ in their bid to perpetuate their rule, are opposed to the grant of political and Cther liberties to their subjects. Human rights are those moral rights which are owed to each man or woman by every man or woman society by reason of being human. Human'rights are distinguished from other moral rights in possessing the inherent chara­ cteristics of university,individuality,paraniountancy,practi­ cability and enforceability. They are the rights of all people at all time and in all situations. The concept of rights is grounded in and derives much of its support and colouring fron the acceptance of man as a free individual, a being of dignity and worth, endowed with reason and conscience, and capable of moral choice and free activity. Uhere that value is not accepted there is no place for rights as the right, but only for rights as a concession. Human rights are something of which no one can be deprived without a grave affrout to justice. There are certain deeds which never be done, certain freedon which should never be invaded, something are supremely sacred. Yet every day, in country after country these rights are being violated. People have the right to food; hundreds of thousands are starving. People have the right to work; millions are unemployed. People have the right to freedom of thought; tens of thousands are imprisoned and tortened for their beliefs. People have the right to be free from discrimination; every where racial prejudice is rampant, the poor are victimised, minorities are denied access to equal rights. Each violation of human rights, whereever it occurs, is a threat to the welfare and dignity of the entire human family. The protection of human rights therefore is a worldwide responsibility which transcends all racial,ideolo­ gical and geographical boundaries. This is the fundamental 3 belief which has given birth to the international struggle for human rights. The full enjoyment of human rights by all classes of people^ without discrimination of any kind, is closely associated with democracy. Without people's basic rights and freedon, a democracy becomes meaningless. There can be no rule of the people and for the people unless they are ensured all basic rights. The succeess or failure of a democracy can be judged by the degree of individual freedom it allows and the number of rights it guarantees to the citizens. Certain rights are widely regarded as "fundamental"; they are supposed to be beyond the vagaries, whims and fancies of the rulers or the shifting majorities in popu­ larly elected legislatures of sovereign countries. It is normal for everyone to question why perfectly normal uniformed officials behave abnormially and violate the law? v;hy even in hormal conditions they tend to use highly visible excessive force even in offences relating to property. One of the reasons could be greed and corrup­ tion, but not all ot its is the cause. There are centres 4 for training of police personnel and armed forces orienting their curriculate to include the topic of how to adhere to the rule of law and respect the rights of citizens. But still the problem remains. POilCE^ UPHOLDER OR VIOLATOR OF LAW Police and brutality have become synonymous. Common man dreads the very thought of meeting a cop, especially if he is poor. "They behave as if they rule the world. It is the strength of the Khakhi Uniform, saysan angry labourer of Delhi. In modern societies police is the principal agency for the enforcement of law. The policemen s-j^mbolize autho­ rity and they are the custodian of the interest of the society as well as individual citizens as far as their basic rights are concerned. The police as a part of bueaucracy is e:xpected to perform its functions in confirmity with certain norms. These norms-follows from the constitution and statutory frame work of police organisation.
