Human Rights - Notes, Case Laws and Study Material

Human rights form the basis of interpersonal relationships, the nature of humanity and the position of individuals as members of communities. Arguably, all people of the world do not assent to the same basic values and beliefs, but what is certain is that every society is concerned with similar notions of social justice as well as the relationship between the individual and his/her political authorities.

Sound knowledge of humans rights is needed to understand and interpret even the most rudimentary laws.
