Protection of Human Rights in Jammu and Kashmir: An Evaluation
Abstract
Human rights are 'universal' in nature; they belong to all humans rather than to members of any particular state, region, race, religion, gender or other group. They are absolute, universal and inalienable; no power on earth can deprive an individual of his/her rights. Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir is continuously affected by violence that leads to Human Rights violations and shatters peace spectrum of state. On the basis of reports from Kashmir, it is stated that the state of Jammu and Kashmir with many regional, sub-regional and religious lines is a challenge to all parties operating for protection and promotion of human rights there. Establishment of Human Rights Commission at National and at State levels was a step forward in building an institution for the protection of human rights. However its role, powers, functions and jurisdiction are riddled with many ambiguities. That literally makes the institution handwork of the State which acts as a safety value in case of accountability. The basic objective of this study is to explore and examine the Legislative Acts for the Protection of human rights in India.
The ethical and behavioural standards that guide a person's behaviour are protected as "human rights" under both domestic and international law. The human rights doctrine has exerted a significant amount of impact on global and regional organisations, in addition to having a significant impact on international law. Human rights are a topic that is actively pursued by governments and non-governmental organisations all around the world. It is nearly impossible to avoid hearing about atrocities and violations of human rights on a daily basis in the news. Crimes committed against children, women, and the disabled are continuing unabated in Covid 19, despite the fact that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948 and that special covenants were created to protect their rights. Direct or indirect violations of human rights can also be committed by the state itself. It is possible for the state to intentionally break the law or just fail to take the necessary safety measures. When a state abuses human rights, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other government personnel may be involved in the investigation and prosecution of the state. Even in the absence of direct physical contact, rights such as the right to a fair trial can be infringed upon, as is the case with police brutality. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is still, sixty years after it was first published, a pipe dream for many people who work to advance human rights. In the event of a pandemic, Jammu & Kashmir suffers from violations of human rights. The purpose of this research is to investigate and evaluate the effects of abuses of human rights that occurred in Jammu and Kashmir during the pandemic.
