NATIONAL
HUMAN
RIGHTS
COMMISSION
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India is an independent body of
the Indian government with the responsibility of advancing and protecting human
rights. It is a statutory body recognised in the Indian Constitution that was founded in
1993 in accordance with the "Protection of Human Rights Act", which was amended in
the year 2006 and further amended in the year 2019. The Paris Principles of Human
Rights, adopted in 1991 for the promotion and preservation of human rights and
supported by the United Nations at its General Assembly in 1993, served as the
foundation for the creation of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The
act extends to the whole of India and was passed in conformity with the Paris principles
adopted for the promotion and protection of human rights, which were endorsed by the
General Assembly of the United Nations on December 20, 1993. Human rights, as
defined in Section 2 of the said act, means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality, and
dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the
International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India. In addition to investigating
complaints of human rights violations or negligence in the prevention of such violations
by public employees, the Commission also studies human rights treaties and
international instruments and makes recommendations to the government for their
effective implementation.
