India is a big country with a huge population. As a result, it has a very large political system with representatives of different places. So, It’s very necessary to check that those leaders and citizens are not misusing their power and are getting their rights as a human. So, in India, we have the NHRC to protect the human rights of the citizens of India. So, about task force, it will have around 10-20 members. It would also keep in mind the strategies of other countries regarding human rights before preparing the final draft, as that will contribute to providing more benefits and a better life to the citizens of our country. There was a lot of impact of the task force in India.
What is the NHRC, and What does it do?
The Indian National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is a legal published body established, by protecting the Human Rights Ordinance of September 28, 1993. It is composed of a chairperson, one member who has been a judge of the supreme court of India, and three more members in which, one of them must be a woman who knows about human rights and the ex-officio members. It inquires, either proactively or reactively, into the violations of human rights by the Indian government or the negligence of a public servant. It also defends human rights and formulation recommendations for their successful application. It examines the circumstances that obstruct the enjoyment of Human Rights, including acts of terrorism and makes recommendations for suitable remedies. The NHRC studies and offers recommendations for the efficient implementation of Human Rights treaties and other international instruments. It also engages in human rights-related research.
What is the National Action Plan?
The United Nations-sponsored an Inter-sessional Workshop on establishing a National Plan of Action for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in Bangkok in 1999. A copy of the note on the conclusion, and possible features to aid the formulation of a National Action Plan, was given by Shri A. Gopinathan, Joint Secretary (UN), Ministry of External Affairs, who had attended the Workshop (NAP). The subject was brought to the Commission’s attention on August 13, 1999. The MHA stated in the year 2000 that the creation of such a National Action Plan would be beneficial and important. Steps such as performing a baseline study on the subject throughout the country, and creating priorities and plans, were deemed necessary by the Ministry. The Ministry of Home Affairs forwarded a draft developed by Shri Shankar Sen of the Institute of Social Sciences in New Delhi to the Commission, requesting its assistance in developing a draft National Action Plan. The topic was considered in the Commission’s meeting on May 27, 2004, and it was concluded that the Commission had no objections in principle to the National Action Plan being prepared. However, because of its status as an independent National Institution, the Commission would do this task on its terms.
GANHRI
The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), originally known as the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights (ICC), is an international organisation that represents institutions from all over the world. Its mission is to build and establish effective and self-sustaining NHRIs worldwide. These institutions meet the Paris Principles’ “A status” (voting member) standards, encouraging inter-institutional cooperation. In addition to hosting international conferences for NHRIs, it will aid those institutions in need and, on occasion, assist governments in forming NHRIs.
Conclusion
It is a unit about task force that is specifically designed for special operations. The Nation’s human rights are about the following topics- the right to life and liberty, the right to be free of slavery and torture, freedom of thought and expression, and the right to work and education. The Indian National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was established on October 12, 1933. It investigates whether the Indian government has violated human rights or whether a public servant has been negligent. The NHRC also offers recommendations for the efficient implementation of Human Rights treaties and other international instruments. The subject was brought to the Commission’s attention on August 13, 1999.
