THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (NHRC)

Even the oldest texts define human rights as natural rights and the product of natural law. During World War II, millions of people died in a very barbaric manner and to prevent such human rights violations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHRs) . India was among the countries that supported the adoption of the Declaration. The Indian Constitution protects and promotes human rights and this statutory body helps in implementing and strengthening these constitutional protections. There is no meaning of democracy if there are human rights violations in a country.
