- Title
The Human Rights Act, 1993: A Cratological Critique.
- Authors
Rasool, Irfan
- Abstract
The last 25 years have witnessed the emergence of a new human right actor, the National Institution for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights--a brainchild of the Conference held in Paris in 1991--an independent body to look into the specific purpose of protecting and expanding human rights. The intention was to adopt a variety of functions for the protection and promotion of human rights depending on the domestic context. Accordingly the National Commission on Human Rights was established in India under the Human Rights Act, 1993. The said Act provided for the composition, functions and powers of the Commission. Against this backdrop, the paper makes an attempt to cratologically analyze the provisions of the Human Rights Act in the light of the controlling Constitution.
