Summary: No human has ever more provoked the psyche of the common man and the think-tanks as well as the elites at the threshold of the 21st century than the HUMAN RIGHTS. The work on such a theme, edited by a reknown legal publicist would open up the sensitive and inquisitive mind to this new frontier. The editor writes: 'Beyond the rhetoric, the universal discourse on Human Rights after having been inevitably de-ideologised, has constructed a strong international opinion on accountability, responsibility of the member states of the United Nations towards Human Rights standard-setting, monitoring and enforcement. The book, in its two parts demonstrates implications of Human Rights and its violation, which is not an uncommon phenomenon in Indian life or elsewhere. Few people would disagree with the remark of UN secretary general Boutros Boutros-Ghali on 29th March, 1993 on the eve of world conference on Human Rights. He states: 'Human Rights has become today one of the central challenges of civilization.' Part one deals with human rights standard setting, perspectives, right of the nations mechanisms of the United Nations, rights of women and child, among others. UN high commissioner of Human Rights is installed in 1994. Part two takes up the human rights abuses in the sensitive states of the country with the help of empirical evidence, the methodology of torture, extrajudicial killings and the judicial remedies. Besides, the Amnesty international and united nations human rights committee reports are being annexed for faithful reading of the Human Rights monitoring-process. The government might have a different opinion yet the open government of today has to accept the reality. It provides challenges and opportunities in equal measure. French declaration, 1789 and universal declaration 1948 are also appended. Science and human rights are also incorporated. Human Rights cover a vast territory, yet the treatise in takes up some of the pre-ponderent Human Rights issues of the day. It is a certain raiser. Persue-be not provoked.
