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 />

every individual must have against anyone in<br />
authority by virtue of being a member of the<br />
human society.”<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 />

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