HUMAN RIGHTS: SECURITY FORCES<br />

In his famous book 'The Social Contract',<br />

J. J. Rousseau starts with the lines that human<br />

beings are born free and everywhere they are in<br />

chains. This does not mean that human beings are<br />

not free. It only means that we are bound by laws<br />

and customs of the land and the society. The law<br />

of the land across the world encourages the human<br />

liberty in modern era. The famous existentialist<br />

philosopher Jean Paul Sartre said that "Man is<br />

condemned to be free." So, as a human being, we<br />

have no right to snatch others’ liberty or deprive<br />

them of the right they are endowed with their birth<br />

on this blue planet, which boasts of being only place<br />

in the universe having human civilization.<br />

� “ Human Rights are those minimal rights, which<br />

every individual must have against anyone in<br />

authority by virtue of being a member of the<br />

human society.”<br />

� Universal Declaration of Human Rights has<br />

become a part of Customary International Law.<br />

As per its Art 1, “ All human beings are free<br />

and equal in dignity & rights. They are endowed<br />

with reason and conscience and should act<br />

towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”.<br />

Part 3 of Indian constitution deals with<br />

fundamental rights of citizen.<br />

� Art 14. Equality before law.-<br />

The State shall not deny to any person equality<br />

before the law or the equal protection of the laws<br />

within the territory of India.<br />

� Art 21. Protection of life and personal<br />

liberty.-<br />

No person shall be deprived of his life or<br />

personal liberty except according to procedure<br />

established by law.<br />
