 Lecture 1

It was a lecture related to cyberspace. A Cyberspace refers to the virtual computer world, and
more specifically, is an electronic medium used to form a global computer network to
facilitate online communication. It is a large computer network made up of many worldwide
computer networks that employ TCP/IP protocol to aid in communication and data exchange
activities. Cyberspace's core feature is an interactive and virtual environment for a broad
range of participants.

An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or
simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer
by the user's web browser while the user is browsing. Cookies were designed to be a reliable
mechanism for websites to remember statefull information (such as items added in the
shopping cart in an online store) or to record the user's browsing activity (including clicking
particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited in the past). They can
also be used to remember arbitrary pieces of information that the user previously entered into
form fields such as names, addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers.

Social engineering is the term used for a broad range of malicious activities accomplished
through human interactions. It uses psychological manipulation to trick users into making
security mistakes or giving away sensitive information.
Social engineering attacks happen in one or more steps. A perpetrator first investigates the
intended victim to gather necessary background information, such as potential points of entry
and weak security protocols, needed to proceed with the attack. Then, the attacker moves to
gain the victim’s trust and provide stimuli for subsequent actions that break security
practices, such as revealing sensitive information or granting access to critical resources.

 Lecture 3

I was literally carried away by the words and the interacting session that we interns had with
Mr SS Lali. He was a Traffic Officer and also served as an DSP of MPHRC . He told us
about Human Rights not the actual definition of Human Rights but what is human . How
humans should behave how humanity should strive inside us that the power of humanity is
above all and everyone should be a human first . humans are the creature of God so we
should behave like a God in oneself

He told us about how basic Custodial Custody convicts are to treated , they should also be
treated with the same dignity of life and should not violate their rights

He showered his experience that he had with in this organization and also basic values that
we as a future lawyers should have a helping hand for the needy . To help the human beings
as an human beings and not behave as an evil in this mankind world . To protect to save our
natural rights from violating . He literally opened our eyes as an honest review I was
flourished by his lecture and Mr SS Lali is an honest man and we need more such people like

 CONCLUSION

The Madhya Pradesh State Human Rights Commission has by and large played its role: quite
effectively and has always upheld the basic principles of human rights by promoting,
protecting and implementing human rights. Ii has investigated a number of cases involving
serious human rights violations, and submitted reports to the Government with a number of
recommendations suggesting measures to be taken to curb such human rights violations.
However, the work of the Commission is least effective, and is far from satisfactory. The
following suggestions are made in order to ensure the efficacy and efficiency of the MP State
Human Rights Commission. If these recommendations are conceded, it will strengthen
MP.H.R.C. so that everyone can live with dignity and honor in our society. With the said
avowed goal in mind the researcher would like to propose the following suggestions and
recommendations.

To remove the weaknesses and shortcomings of the MP State Human Rights Commission,
the Protection of Human Rights Act 1993 requires urgent modification and amendment. The
Government of MP may submit recommendations for effecting amendment in the Act and
prevail upon the Union Government to affect the amendment immediately in order to
strengthen the MP.H.R.C.

 Learning Outcomes

i. This internship gave me an opportunity to work for a governmental organization and know
about its working and functioning. I learnt how the complaints are received, managed and
segregated by the department.

ii. During the internship, I had the opportunity of sharpening and improving my research,
reading, and analyzing skills.

iii. It gave me a chance to interact with members of commission and students from various
other colleges. The main advantage was that not only law students were welcomed for the
internships but students from political science, medical sciences, criminology etc were
welcomed.

iv. It was an enriching experience to understand the issue of Human Rights and its
significance in the contemporary world.

v. It most importantly taught me the significance of team work in our life. While working
with the members my group, I learnt how teamwork can help instilling sense of
responsibility, encouragement to work harder and efficiency due to division of work.

vi. This internship helped me instill some other professional learning outcomes as well like
behaving ethically, listening effectively, dressing appropriately, addressing colleagues and
superiors appropriately, adapting effectively to changing conditions, participating as a
member of a team and developing individual responsibility.
