Violation of Human Rights

Rights occupy an important place in man's life. Success of democracy depends on intelligent citizens. Rights enable citizens to take part in administration and this lead to the success of democracy. The philosophy of human rights is similar with that of the values. Human rights promotion is the work of all levels of society. Not only do the United Nations and international groups play a role, but so do national, state, and local governments. Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behaviour, and are regularly protected as legal rights in national and international law. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. It is hoped that the present edition of this book will be beneficial to all concerned of the society, in general and students, lawyers, advocates, academicians, human rights institutions , researchers and NGOs working in human rights field, in particular.
