Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: South Asia, grade: 2.8, language: English, abstract: This paper argues that as isolation of villages is forever broken by inroads of media, technology and spatial mobility, the existing local government system will only help weave the village into the broader social fabric. This paper consists of three parts. Part one traces the origin and development of local self-governments in India and the significance of 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment acts. Part two consists of the features of local self-governments in India and the issues involved in it such as caste, economic factors and gender disparity. Part three analysis the interface of human rights and local self-governments and it is followed by a conclusion. The system of local self-government has taken a leap forward in guaranteeing a life of dignity and respect to the citizen at the local village level in India. In a formal sense, all the states in India have conformed to the constitutional requirement of ensuring the participation in the local self-governments to the hitherto excluded groups through the system of reservation. This institutionalisation of local self-governments since 1990s that has added greater momentum to the decentralisation process has also had some deeper implications for the human rights situation in India. Even as the democratic process has been extended, changes in traditional society have involved conflict. Therefore on the other side after India had taken bold steps to strengthen decentralisation and local self-governance system the human rights violations at all levels have not decreased. It is ironical that elections in India become an occasion for serious human rights violations. Although it happens even during elections to the states and parliament the violence is more in the local elections as the polling percentage is higher at this level. Further, violence has increased at t

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a sincere effort by the U.N.O. to underscore the acceptance by civilized nations that all human beings are endowed with certain inalienable rights which deserve respect by all nations of the world. But this declaration was not a binding treaty. The world body evolved a consensus to divide the human rights into two classes. The rights against the State were collected in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the positive rights in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This book gives parallel provisions contained in the Constitution and various Acts in force in India. It also refers to decisions of the Supreme Court. There is no other book which gives Indian Law along with each article of these two covenants. Author's Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Indian Law together with this book gives a complete view of Human Rights and Indian Law. They form a duo, a set of two.

This book presents detailed case studies of thirteen such autonomies from around the world, in which noted experts on each outline the constitutional, legal and institutional frameworks as well as how these arrangements have worked in practice to protect minority rights and prevent secession of the territories in question. The volume's editors draw on the case studies to provide a comparative analysis of how autonomy works and the political and institutional conditions under which it is likely to become a workable arrangement for management of the differences that brought it into being.

Download or read book Stifling Dissent written by Jayshree Bajoria and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "India's constitution protects the right to peaceful expression and its courts have issued numerous decisions that are protective of the right. However governments at both the national and state level persist in using harsh laws, many of them relics of the colonial era, to criminalize peaceful expression and arrest critics. While some prosecutions, in the end, have been dismissed or abandoned, many people who have engaged in nothing more than peaceful criticism have been arrested, held in pre-trial detention, and forced to defend themselves in costly criminal proceedings. Fear of such actions has led others to engage in self-censorship. In 2016 there has been a spike in the number of sedition cases filed nationwide. Human Rights Watch calls on the Indian government to drop all pending charges and investigations against those who are facing prosecution for the exercise of their right to freedom of expression, halt the abuse of the legal process and detain critics, and amend or repeal relevant laws to bring them into line with international human rights standards"--Page [4] of cover.

This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Convention on Human Rights – Article 10 – Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises. 2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary. In the context of an effective democracy and respect for human rights mentioned in the Preamble to the European Convention on Human Rights, freedom of expression is not only important in its own right, but it also plays a central part in the protection of other rights under the Convention. Without a broad guarantee of the right to freedom of expression protected by independent and impartial courts, there is no free country, there is no democracy. This general proposition is undeniable. This handbook is a practical tool for legal professionals from Council of Europe member states who wish to strengthen their skills in applying the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights in their daily work.
