Human Rights are essentially a product of Democracy. Man’s struggle against tyranny has been long and sustained. Tyranny has, from time to time, surfaced in different forms and modes. Human beings have always tried to assert their right, more often than not successfully; sometimes there has been a dismal failure. Onslaught on human rights continues. So does man’s struggle against tyranny. During the Renaissance period, and the era of industrialisation, the concept of human rights and their enforcement began taking shape in the west. From thereon it took the roots in other parts of the world. However, as the colonial masters of Asia and Africa Western nations grossly maltreated their subject people, the history of colonialism is full of instances of massacres, ruthless oppressions, killings and heinous crimes. But it was after 2 World War and Nuremberg Trials, and the formation of United Nations and its various covenants that the enforcement of human rights began on proper lines. This book discusses the various facets of human rights, their legal, social political and economic aspects of enforcement in a detailed manner. There is a chapter on National Commission on Human Rights of India too, to let the reader know about the commission activity in India for protection of human rights. We hope the readers, academicians, lawyers, NGOs working in the field of human rights, and law enforcement agencies will find the book of great value.
