Nature of National Human Rights Commission in India

Abstract
India's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was created in 1993, as a response to increasing international awareness of human rights, after India entered the global economic arena. The United Nations Human Rights
Commission adopted the “Paris Principles”, a guiding light for resolving international human rights issues. For India, it was critical to secure international trade partnership and show compliance with global labour standards, including a refusal to support unethical practices like child labour. While human rights were enshrined in the Indian Constitution, it was the lack of a system to protect and safeguard against exploitation that made it necessary to support charities fighting for children’s rights in India.
