Implementation of Basic Human Rights by Manoj Kumar Sinha offers an in-depth and analytical examination of how fundamental human rights are protected, enforced, and realized within India and across international legal systems. Moving beyond theoretical foundations, the book focuses on practical mechanisms, institutional frameworks, and policy challenges involved in translating human rights norms into effective realities.
The text discusses the constitutional protection of basic rights in India, the role of the judiciary, and the functioning of bodies such as the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), State Human Rights Commissions, and international monitoring agencies. It also evaluates India’s obligations under major global conventions and treaties, including UDHR, ICCPR, ICESCR, CEDAW, and CRC.
Addressing contemporary concerns, the book explores issues relating to custodial violence, marginalized communities, gender equality, refugee protection, child rights, environmental rights, and the expanding scope of rights in the digital era. Its research-based approach makes it valuable for academic study as well as policy and advocacy work.
