Author: Bal Krishan Chawla

Human rights to which all human entitled, simply because we are human. Our human rights are inalienable and they belong to all of us, whatever our caste, class, race, age, gender, religion or belief, and should not be taken away from us under any circumstances. Human rights are those minimal rights which every individual must have against the State or other public authority by virtue of his being a 'member of the human family ‘irrespective of any other consideration. In this regard the UDHR has exercised a profound influence upon the minds of men. It is a primary proclamation of the international community's commitment to human rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and for all nations. Its message is one of hope, equality, liberation and empowerment. It is a message to all who are committed to freedom, justice and peace in the World. The present paper attempts a critical evaluation of UDHR’s background, content and impact, and examines how today the social face of international law is well-focused in the Indian constitutional jurisprudence.

Some cases have been reported from the sections upon which rest a great part of the moral responsibility to ensure that women are safe at their work place. Hence, the present research paper deals with the issues and concerns which are required for prevention of sexual harassment of women at workplace.

Concept of Marginalisation in Indian Society: A Critical Analysis

Author: Preeti Bhardwaj

The concept of marginality was first introduced by Robert Park (1928). Marginalisation is a symbol that refers to process by which individuals or groups are kept at or pushed beyond the edges of society. The term outsiders may be used to refer to those individuals or groups who are marginalised . The Encyclopaedia of Public Health defines marginalisation as, “to be marginalised is to be placed in the margins and thus excluded from the privilege and power found at the centre”, The concept of marginality is generally used to analyse socioeconomic, political and cultural spheres, where disadvantaged people struggle to gain access to resources and full participation in social life. In other words, marginalised people might be socially, economically, politically and legally ignored, excluded or neglected and therefore vulnerable. A great majority of people in the developing nations are under the line of poverty. They are deprived of adequate access in the basic needs of life such as health, education, housing, food, security, employment, justice and equity. The issues of sustainable livelihood, social and political participation of the vulnerable groups exists as the major problem in these developing nations, particularly in India. Governments have failed to guarantee people’s rights in the implementation level. People who belong to the vulnerable groups are unable to acquire and use their rights.
