The law of human rights is a contemporary topic of international law. With the establishment of the United Nations, the recognition and the realisation for the protection and promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms is deemed necessary as they are considered as indispensable for the maintenance of international peace and security. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted two Covenants which recognised the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all human beings. These rights have been regarded as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the World. But the recognition and incorporation of the rights in the international documents itself is not enough. What the system needs is the process for the effective implementation of the rights provided therein. Although implementation system for the protection of human rights was also envisaged therein, violations of human rights continued to take place in a large scale in most of the countries of the World. It is indeed a tragedy on human dignity and honour and is a cause of deep anxiety.
