Human Rights Day is marked every year on December 10 to recognise and empower human rights. It basically includes social, economic, cultural rights and international commitments on civil and political rights. The human rights law came into existence on September 28, 1993, in India. Then the Government of India formed the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on October 12, 1993. A lot of basic rights have been included under the jurisdiction which includes social, economic and cultural.
Youth considered to be essential element
The theme for Human Rights Day 2019 is ‘Youth Standing Up for Human Rights’, as per the official website of the United Nations. The UN considers that the participation of youth is very important to achieve sustainable development for everyone. Youth has always been considered as an essential element of social, economic and political transformation. Human rights exercise the right to live, liberty, equality and respect of any human being. Several messages and reactions have surfaced on social media.
On #HumanRightsDay , let us remind ourselves that all human beings are equal in dignity & rights. In any civilized society, protection of human rights is most important. We need to create conditions, where people’s rights are protected and all can live a life of dignity.
