The present book The Human Rights is an in-depth-systematized study of recent developments, particularly since 1970s, in the international concern for promotion and protection of basic Human Rights within and beyond national boundaries. This has been necessitated by tremendous growth and taking place of a good number of international treaties, conventions, declarations and practices which are not noticed in books though these are actually followed by the states, and to varying extent these are enforced by the concerned international regional or national authorities. In many cases, these developments in favour of Human Rights for people are now integral part of international law and form part of international diplomacy, international relations or international politics. Respect for Human Rights is now regarded as good or ideal national politics world over: it is also part of active diplomacy. As the issue of Human Rights is upper most in ideology and functioning of modern polity, care has been taken to incorporate the needs of state policy makers, politicians, reformers and scholars of international law and international relations, among others. The Indian laws and practices on various aspects of Human Rights that bring them in line with the expectations of international law and practices have been provided in detail in the book. The book will also find favour with academics, social activists and all those responsible citizens concerned for Human Rights denial or suffering on any account in any section of the society.
