WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS:-
The belief that everyone, by virtue of her or his humanity, is entitled to certain human rights is fairly new.
Its roots, however, lie in earlier tradition and documents of many cultures; it took the catalyst of World War
II to propel human rights onto the global stage and into the global conscience.
Throughout much of history, people acquired rights and responsibilities through their membership in a
group – a family, indigenous nation, religion, class, community, or state. Most societies have had traditions
similar to the "golden rule" of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The Hindu Vedas,
the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, the Bible, the Quran (Koran), and the Analects of Confucius are five
of the oldest written sources which address questions of people’s duties, rights, and responsibilities. In
addition, the Inca and Aztec codes of conduct and justice and an Iroquois Constitution were Native
American sources that existed well before the 18th century. In fact, all societies, whether in oral or written
tradition, have had systems of propriety and justice as well as ways of tending to the health and welfare of
their members.
Precursors of 20th Century Human Rights Documents
Documents asserting individual rights, such the Magna Carta (1215), the English Bill of Rights (1689), the
French Declaration on the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789), and the US Constitution and Bill of Rights
(1791) are the written precursors to many of today’s human rights documents. Yet many of these
documents, when originally translated into policy, excluded women, people of colour, and members of
certain social, religious, economic, and political groups. Nevertheless, oppressed people throughout the
world have drawn on the principles these documents express to support revolutions that assert the right to
self-determination.
Contemporary international human rights law and the establishment of the United Nations (UN) have
important historical antecedents. Efforts in the 19th century to prohibit the slave trade and to limit the
horrors of war are prime examples. In 1919, countries established the International Labor Organization
(ILO) to oversee treaties protecting workers with respect to their rights, including their health and safety.
Concern over the protection of certain minority groups was raised by the League of Nations at the end of
the First World War. However, this organization for international peace and cooperation, created by the
victorious European allies, never achieved its goals. The League floundered because the United States
refused to join and because the League failed to prevent Japan’s invasion of China and Manchuria (1931)
and Italy’s attack on Ethiopia (1935). It finally died with the onset of the Second World War (1939).
The idea of human rights emerged stronger after World War II. The extermination by Nazi Germany of
over six million Jews, Sinti and Romani (gypsies), homosexuals, and persons with disabilities horrified the
world. Trials were held in Nuremberg and Tokyo after World War II, and officials from the defeated
countries were punished for committing war crimes, "crimes against peace," and "crimes against humanity."
Governments then committed themselves to establishing the United Nations, with the primary goal of
bolstering international peace and preventing conflict. People wanted to ensure that never again would
anyone be unjustly denied life, freedom, food, shelter, and nationality. The essence of these emerging
human rights principles was captured in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union
Address when he spoke of a world founded on four essential freedoms: freedom of speech and religion and
freedom from want and fear. The calls came from across the globe for human rights standards to protect
citizens from abuses by their governments, standards against which nations could be held accountable for
the treatment of those living within their borders. These voices played a critical role in the San Francisco
meeting that drafted the United Nations Charter in 1945.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Member states of the United Nations pledged to promote respect for the human rights of all. To advance
this goal, the UN established a Commission on Human Rights and charged it with the task of drafting a
document spelling out the meaning of the fundamental rights and freedoms proclaimed in the Charter. The
Commission, guided by Eleanor Roosevelt’s forceful leadership, captured the world’s attention.
On December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the 56
members of the United Nations. The vote was unanimous, although eight nations chose to abstain.
The UDHR, commonly referred to as the international Magna Carta, extended the revolution in
international law ushered in by the United Nations Charter – namely, that how a government treats its own
citizens is now a matter of legitimate international concern, and not simply a domestic issue. It claims that
all rights are interdependent and indivisible. Its Preamble eloquently asserts that:
“Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human
family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.”
The influence of the UDHR has been substantial. Its principles have been incorporated into the constitutions
of most of the more than 185 nations now in the UN. Although a declaration is not a legally binding
document, the Universal Declaration has achieved the status of customary international law because
people regard it "as a common standard of achievement for all people and all nations."
With the goal of establishing mechanisms for enforcing the UDHR, the UN Commission on Human Rights
proceeded to draft two treaties: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and its
optional Protocol and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
Together with the Universal Declaration, they are commonly referred to as the International Bill of Human
Rights. The ICCPR focuses on such issues as the right to life, freedom of speech, religion, and voting. The
ICESCR focuses on such issues as food, education, health, and shelter. Both covenants trumpet the
extension of rights to all persons and prohibit discrimination. As of 1997, over 130 nations have ratified
these covenants. The United States, however, has ratified only the ICCPR, and even that with many
reservations, or formal exceptions, to its full compliance.
Subsequent Human Rights Documents
In addition to the covenants in the International Bill of Human Rights, the United Nations has adopted more
than 20 principal treaties further elaborating human rights. These include conventions to prevent and
prohibit specific abuses like torture and genocide and to protect especially vulnerable populations, such as
refugees (Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, 1951), women (Convention on the Elimination
of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, 1979), and children (Convention on the Rights of the
Child, 1989). As of 1997 the United States has ratified only these conventions:
In Europe, the Americas, and Africa, regional documents for the protection and promotion of human rights
extend the International Bill of Human Rights. For example, African states have created their own Charter
of Human and People’s Rights (1981), and Muslim states have created the Cairo Declaration on Human
Rights in Islam (1990). The dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Latin America since 1989
have powerfully demonstrated a surge in demand for respect of human rights. Popular movements in China,
Korea, and other Asian nations reveal a similar commitment to these principles.
Globally the champions of human rights have most often been citizens, not government officials. In
particular, Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have played a cardinal role in focusing the
international community on human rights issues. For example, NGO activities surrounding the 1995 United
Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China, drew unprecedented attention to serious
violations of the human rights of women. NGOs such as Amnesty International, the Antislavery Society,
the International Commission of Jurists, the International Working Group on Indigenous Affairs, Human
Rights Watch, Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights, and Survivors International monitor the actions of
governments and pressure them to act according to human rights principles.

Suo-motu Cognizance.
Mr.Bansilal Diwan in his statement said that he is innocent, looking back his past records he has
never been involved into such acts and he also stated by referring to the statement given by
jogeshwari and Durga that as they “no cheat papers were found” So if there were no cheat papers
why would we even beat them. All the allegation put down on us is wrong and factless.
Mrs.Hemkumari Patel answering said same as Mr.Diwan that if they didn’t had any cheat papers
why would even touch them or talk to them. She also stated that if all three students were in
different rooms how can they know about others being beaten up. She mentioned that she is
teaching since 2002 & has a clean past. She Said the complaint filed against them are false and
malicious.

B.L.Diwan & Mrs. Hemkumari.
The main points of complaint in which was violation of Human Rights were found: -
Whether the Children were beaten up the Centre head/Inspection team or not: The police
Superintendent reported no injuries to the students. It was also mentioned that the medical reports
could not be provided due to it being destroyed. The Commission found that the witnesses were
exaggerating their claims against the centre head & team, therefore the witnesses statement were
said to be not credible. No sign of injuries on any of the students were found by the hospital staff,
as reorted by them. Also, the team members, being strangers to the students, could not be known to
them but were expressly named in their complaint.
The commission examined the witnesses as well as the recorded statement of the students and found
them to be false and exaggerated. They stand not accepted due to their lack of credibility. The
accusations have not been proved by the police or hospital reports. Therefore no violations of human
rights were found/proved by the commission on the part of centre head and invigilators team.
Therefore the Commission DISMISSED this Suo-motu action taken by the commission itself.

CONCLUSION:-
First of all I would like to thank CGHRC for giving me this wonderful opportunity for being part of their
prestigious work. Overall as a law student and a citizen of india one should know their basic rights imposed
upon then and violation of such rights is an offensive act. So, by interning here in this commission it was
an opportunity to know the practical aspect of human rights whose theoretical part we have done in our
colleges. It was an opportunity to know the procedure followed and action to be implemented if basic
Human rights are violated.
As a law student, we can fight and give justice to the people whose right being snached away by some
unscrupulous people prevailing in our society, and hence can render punishment to them and can hope to
bring some quality changes in our country.
The sole purpose of this commission is to protect the very basic rights of people in India. All human being
are entitled to certain inalienable rights and they must be protected. The function of the State human rights
commission is sane as national commission. The victim or any other person on his behalf can approach this
commission to file a complaint.
The Cases dealth within this report by me have provided to me with a deep insight into how the CGHRC
works to fulfill the objective of protecting the human rights of the individuals. The proceedings carried out
by the commission have been made me clear through various perusal and summarization brought in the
commission. The classification of the case dealt with have also brought out the wide view of coverage of
human rights. This commission is doing a commendable job of ensuring that no human rights of any
complainant are violated. It has been my observation that some false founded complaints creep in, but they
are speedily dismissed without wasting much time. This shows that the commission is so diligent in
performing their work.
THE LESSONS (not only the legal but life lessons) TAUGHT HERE WILL BE SURELY
REMEMBERED.
Thanking you for providing me with opportunity of interning with CGHRC.
