Shared Responsibility Towards Development Human Rights, Democracy and Rule Of Law
Amity Law School, Jaipur, Rajasthan, IndiaPages 28 - 40Human Rights are those fundamental and inalienable rights which are essential for human existence. As defined by D.D. Basu, Human Rights are those minimum rights which every individual must have against the state or other public authority by virtue of his or her being a member of human family, irrespective of any other consideration. The notion of Human rights was developed by Greek philosophers for the first time. After the destruction caused by second world war, the people of the world felt a necessity of an international organization for keeping the world away from was and generate a feeling of peace, fraternity and co-operation among all nations, this led to laying the foundation of United Nation Organization. In 1948, Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted on by General Assembly of United Nations followed by various conventions towards the same goal of providing human rights to all the people for them to live in peace and tranquility. The framing of the U.N. Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights 1966, the International Covenant on Social, Economic and Cultural Rights 1966 and the other International and Regional Instruments can be said as the most captivating episode in the twentieth Century. Democracy is the most popular form of governance today and among its many strong pillars is a stand of respect for human rights. Democracy can't exist without human rights. It is additionally evident that there is a more prominent probability that human rights are "better" respected herein. Democracy originates from the society; it requires a political and social responsibility and commitment. All things considered a democracy can't be forced from the outside as its combination requires a generation in time. Given that democracy's destiny is joined to that of human rights, as long as no universal agreement can be found on the precise substance on human rights no obvious advancement can be made on the issue of democracy and their development.1 views -

Anti CAA Protest – The Machination!
Student at VIT, Chennai, IndiaPages 110 - 114On 12 December 2019, the Government of India passed the most controversial Citizenship Amendment Act, with a clear majority in the Parliament. The act as amended by the BJP Government, inserted clause (b) to Section 2(1), which identifies “Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian community from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan, who entered into India on or before the 31st day of December, 2014 and who has been exempted by the Central Government by or under clause (c) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920 or from the application of the provisions of the Foreigners Act, 1946 or any rule or order made thereunder” as legal migrants. Despite the ruling party’s assurance on various platforms that the amended Act in no way affect “Indian Muslims”, the passing of the Act created wide protests and agitations from north to south, east- west of the country. Protests began in the State of Assam, which consider that the amendment is in violation of the Assam Accord. Major hotspots for anti-CAA protests include nation’s top Universities like JNU and Islamic Universities like Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University and other 25 student associations all over India held anti-CAA protests. On December 15th Police was said to have entered Jamia campus and detained and caused injury to students. The sources from The Hindu and PTI shows that the protests which occurred in at least 14 states and a minimum of 94 districts, around 48% of protests recorded at least one violent incident or lathi or detention by police. Deaths of at least 31 people were recorded related to the violence that ensued during the protests. Around 24 districts in U.P witnessed protests, out of which more than 90% recorded violent incidents or police action or both. The anti- CAA protest thus seemed to be one of the most violent in the country. The BJP government is keen on going forward with the Citizenship Amendment Act, which has created a situation of stalemate in the nation. The present situation of perplexity is created by them which is a threat to the democracy of the country as well as its peace and tranquillity. Therefore, it is high time the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary together interferes and finds a way to peacefully negotiate and put an end to the protest.1 views -

Stepping up Environment Rights through Gezi Park Protests
Student at Symbiosis Law School, IndiaPages 122 - 125What occurs when a prime minister portrays a momentous demonstration as a plot outside? The response of the Turkish government to the Gezi Park demonstrations, a response based on a conspiracy theory of an' exchange rate lobby, offers a rare example for investigating the impact of conspiracy theories on major protests. Building on quantitative and qualitative material review of the reactions of internet consumers to the conspiracy theories of the government, I analyze the socio-political importance of this hoax language. The results indicate that (1) internet users ' previous political opinions forecast their reactions to conspiracy theories, and (2) The users ' remarks based on their policy views. These indicate that citizens continue to view the conspiracy theories in accordance with their personal beliefs and desires, and subsequently that the theory frames of the government about the protests seem to have led to the democratic instability by reinforcing the rift between supporters and opponents of the Justice and Development Party (AKP)1 views -

Changes in the Dynamics of Protests in 21st Century
Student at Kirit P Mehta School of Law (NMIMS Deemed to be University), IndiaPages 153 - 156‘Protest’ is something which is very inherent in human nature and is the true manifestation of one’s disagreement with the current state of affairs. It is a tool used by the common man/woman to take what is rightly his/her. There are various forms of protest in the world with different means but each of them has the same intention i.e to show dissent and resist oppression. In this article I have analysed four major protests which were carried out in the history of mankind. Starting with the first documented protest in the world which took place in England in 1215, resulting into the granting of a charter of civil rights by the king to his citizens which came to be known as the ‘Magna Carta’. Then I have written about the French Revolution which took place in 1787 and laid the foundation of people’s rule and civil rights. The next protest which I have mentioned is popularly known as the ‘Cedar Revolution’ which took place in Lebanon in 2005 and sparked various protests in the ‘Arab Springs’ for the want of self-rule and democracy. And the last protest which I have written about is the #METOO revolution which gained momentum in 2018 and was a first of its kind ‘Social Media’ protest garnering support from all over the world. Hence, throughout this article I have compared the essential characteristics of all the four protests thereby analyzing the changes and differences in the protests taking place in the 21st Century.0 views -
Protests in 21st century
Student at Himachal Pradesh National Law University, IndiaPages 157 - 159“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying greed. If people all over the world….would do this, it would change the earth.” These are the words of Sir William Faulkner an American writer. Indeed, to raise voice against injustice, exploitation and tyrannical administration has to be raised in order to curb injustice and oppression. Struggles between the oppressed and the oppressor have been witnessed by almost every nation. The terms oppressor and oppressed have been interpreted differently by different scholars. In the book “The Communist Manifesto” Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles it has been mentioned that, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."0 views -
Unrest in Venezuela from 2014 to Present Day
Student at Department of Law, University of North Bengal, IndiaPages 160 - 163A Violence is said to be intrinsic to human nature. No matter how much we strive for the attainment of peace, we tend to be intemperate. There have been several violent as well as peaceful protests in the 21 st century. Protest means a statement or action expressing disapproval or objection to something. Protests can also be viewed as the endpoint of human patience and tolerance after which it becomes impossible to contain anger or suffering. Such is the case in Venezuela. Venezuela is a country that has been suffering since the late 1990s and it is still in the state of constant struggle with things like inflation, shortages of goods, corruption, mismanagement, crimes, high mortality rates etc. The New York Times has recently called the crisis the worst the world has ever seen apart from war.

Protest in 21st Century – Nishtha kheria
Student at Amity Law School, Noida, IndiaPages 173 - 177This article aims to identify what are the differences between the movement that takes place in society and the protests. We can analyze these by 3 aspects of a protest: The dynamics of disconnection, fickleness and the alteration. The secular and the structural limitations as the challenges to the society's order. The challenged political specifications of the protesters. In this article, I would specify how the protests are different from the social movements. Riots should not be identified as being a united event they should be ventilated into several smaller events in which the various supporters, the repertoires and their reason for participation should not be different rather opposed. Protests always communicated and are surrounded by the socio-economic and geographical immobility of the participants in the dissimilarity of the social movements. They can shift their remilitarization to a greater geographical and political scale. Finally, claims are made and political identities in protest are challenged perceptions about politics that are supported by strict dualism, like political or non-political. However, taking under consideration these differences, the two concepts shouldn't be compared or acknowledged mutually exclusive, since protests may happen within a society’s movement cycles of protest (e.g., the Watts riots of 1965 it occurred within the wide context of the civil rights)0 views -
