Human Rights in a Global Perspective has been written specially keeping in mind the present international awareness of human rights and its all-pervasive influence in practically all walks of life. The concept of human rights is one more step in the march of civilisation and every individual needs to know about it and also understand it thoroughly. This book begins at the beginning outlining the scope of the concept of human rights with proper definitions and basic details and the extent of its awareness in India and in the world. International conventions and laws pertaining to human rights have been covered with discerning detail and also its linkages with societal behaviour like homosexualism, etc. The effect and applicability of human rights on tribals and primitives, original inhabitants of particular areas, has been given special attention. The part that religion plays in the maintenance of human rights has been delineated with special emphasis on the Islamic tradition and concept of the subject. Of special interest is the valuable role of the United Nations in not only propagating the concept and importance of human rights but also taking adequate steps whenever and wherever necessary to ensure that the human rights of the people at large are not violated. This book will be of special interest to non-governmental organisations, bureaucrats, law and order administrators, defence forces, sociologists and educationists and all those general readers who wish to understand and be aware of the wide-ranging implications of human rights.
