    The state has the obligation and responsibility to see to it that both state actors and
    non-state actors be held liable in case of human rights violations. The state must
    not be the catalyst for oppressive acts against its people but rather be the protector
    of rights of all its people. Their actions must not subvert the law and most
    importantly must conform to constitutional limitations and respecting the inherent
    rights of all its people. Respect means that the state is committed that no law
    should be made to interfere or curtail the fulfillment of the stated human rights.
    Protecting means that human rights violations should be prevented and if they
    exist, immediate action should be made.
