Human Rights in Globalised World

About Human Rights in Globalised World

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. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible. Universal human rights are often expressed and guaranteed by law, in the forms of treaties, customary international law , general principles and other sources of international law. International human rights law lays down obligations of Governments to act in certain ways or to refrain from certain acts, in order to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups. All human rights are indivisible, whether they are civil and political rights, such as the right to life, equality before the law and freedom of expression; economic, social and cultural rights, such as the rights to work, social security and education, or collective rights, such as the rights to development and self-determination, are indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. The book provides an overall view on the burning issues of human rights violation taking place in this global age and elaboratively discusses the complexity of the subject. The book will be found useful to policy makers, NGO, social scientists, practitioners of political and administrative system, who are interested not only in understanding the concept but in-identifying the solution to the issues and problems of human rights.
