Answer the following briefly:

What steps have been undertaken to avoid violation of Human Rights?

Human Rights are not localized rather applicable around the globe. The League of nations that came into existence after the 1st World War formed a separate directive on Human Rights and after the 2nd World War United Nation Organization was formed to safeguard the Human Rights.

Hence, the establishment of UNO is to prevent Human Rights violations in any part


of the world. In order to achieve this, the UNO, directed all its member countries to protect the Human Rights compulsorily.


Indian Constitution takes the liability to protect Human Rights. The Preamble has discussed expressions like equality, fraternity and Freedom. There are 6 Fundamental Rights like Right to equality, Right to freedom, Right against exploitation, Right to religious freedom, Cultural and Educational rights and Right to a constitutional remedy, to protect the Human Rights. The parliament has also set up the National Human Rights Commission as a watchdog of the Human rights.
