About the Conference
The signicance of human rights has grown over the centuries and the
post Second World War era witnessed a new dimension in the promotion
and protection of human rights whereby reliance has been placed on a
set of values which are essential for human development. The UNO was
founded in 1945 to reinforce human rights and fundamental freedoms,
and to maintain international peace and security. Recognizing the
signicance of human rights, the UN General Assembly adopted UDHR in
the year 1948. Subsequently, the concept of human rights got impetus
through international human rights documents. With the passage of
time, human rights obtained concrete forms when the nation states
adopted good governance by incorporating them in their constitutions.
Through the initiatives of the UN and with the support of the nation
states, human rights and fundamental freedoms of the individuals have
been well dened through the identication and formulation of the
same at the international and national frameworks. Initially, the
focus was to enumerate the civil and political rights and the social,
economic and cultural rights. The next stage of development of human
rights looked into the problems of vulnerable sections including
women, children, indigenous peoples, etc. and identied the measures
to be adopted for the realization of human rights of these sections.
The third stage witnessed the emergence of right based approach to
development and initiatives of massive human rights education
programme. 21st century has witnessed the emergence of various human
rights issues as a result of the advancement in science and
technology. Above all, the emergence of globalization makes it
imperative for revitalizing the strategies and plan of actions for
the protection and promotion of human rights.
