Call for Publications Theme: Human Rights and the World Today Publication: Edited Book Deadline: 30.11.2016 __________________________________________________ Man being born free is supposed to enjoy human rights from birth. All the religious texts support human rights. The notion of ‘natural right’ was developed by the Greek philosophers. Human rights provide the individual the basic pre-requisites to develop one’s personality and capacities. Wars have been fought in the guise of protection of human rights. Professor Amartya Sen, the Nobel laureate, has stated that human right has gained a new popularity in the language of national and international communication. It has acquired legitimacy in the world parlance. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been stated to be the International Bill of Rights. The universality of the rights is hardly appreciated throughout the world. It is culture-specific. However, human rights need legal recognition. Right is a child of law. Legitimacy is equally required. The role of the law enforcement authorities is equally important. But, human rights can go beyond legislation.
