P.C. Pant has demitted office.   On 22.10.2021, the Commission took cognizance in the matter, as the complainant had brought to the notice of the Commission a news report wherein it was reported that a 18 year old vegetable vendor died after he was caught over charges of defying Covid-19 lockdown norms and mercilessly beaten by the Police Constable and Homeguard in Bangarmau in Unnao District. The victim succumbed to the injuries. The report further stated that both the police personnel had been suspended. The Commission had directed to transmit the copy of the complaint to the District Magistrate, Unnao and the Superintendent of Police, Unnao, Uttar Pradesh calling for a report in the matter within six weeks. The SP, Unnao had submitted a report that the deceased was brought to the police station by Constable Vijay Chaudhary and Home Guard Satya Prakash later on the allegations of assault by the police officer a case u/s. 302 IPC stands registered against the police officials. Subsequently, Home Guard, Satya Prakash and Constable Vijay Chaudhary were arrested on 25.5.2021 and sent to judicial custody, while a service of Home Guard, Satya Prakash had been terminated.   The report submitted by the SP, Unnao apparently makes out a case of violation of human rights of the deceased by the police officials, who apprehended him for the violation of lockdown protocol and thereafter assaulted him.   The fact of registration of FIR and disciplinary proceedings is sufficient admission on the part of local police, Unnao of the act of police atrocities leading to loss of life of a civilian, who was an 18 year old, petty vegetable vendor.   It was an appropriate case, where recommendation of compensation should be made by the Commission against the Government of UP for its vicarious liability for the acts of atrocities of the police officials.   Therefore, a show cause notice was issued under section 18(a)(i) of the PHR Act, 1993 to the Govt. of UP through its Chief Secretary to file a reply in a period of six weeks, as to why the Commission should not recommend a compensation of Rs. 5 Lac (Rupees Five Lac only) to be paid by the State to the next of kin of the deceased. The O/o. Supdt. of Police, Unnao has again requested the facts of incident and registration of case and disciplinary proceedings.  The report submitted does not indicate anything substantial to controvert the findings of the Commission for recommendation of compensation of Rupees Five Lakhs to the next of kin of the deceased, who lost his life due to acts of atrocities of police officer. Thus, recommendation is hereby made to the Govt. of UP through its Chief Secretary to pay of compensation of Rupees Five Lakhs (5 Lakhs) to the next of the kin of the deceased. The Chief Secretary to the State of Uttar Pradesh shall ensure disbursement of the compensation amount of sum of Rupees Five Lakhs to the next of the kin of deceased, under his personal responsibility and inform the Commission the same in a period of Four weeks.   Put up after Four weeks.               It is therefore, requested that the compliance report in the matter be sent to the Commission latest by 07/02/2022, so that the same could be placed before the Commission.             Any communication by public authorities in this matter may please be sent to the Commission through the HRCNet Portal (https://hrcnet.nic.in) by using id and password already provided to the public authorities (click Authority Login), or through Speed Post/ at email-id cr.nhrc@nic.in. Any Audio/ Video CDs/ pen drives etc. and bulky reports may be sent through Speed Post/ per bearer.     Your’s faithfully Sd/- Indrajeet Kumar DEPUTY REGISTRAR (LAW) M-2 Section Ph.

#PacketKeAndarKyaHai Strong Front of Package Label (FOPL) regulation for better health

 "My life partner and I both have hectic work schedules and long hours working on  ground for the rights of marginalised people . This doesn't leave us much time to prepare homemade meals. So we often depend on packaged food. I lost my immunity due to my ignorance of its harmful effects. COVID made me realise this.

After my 12-day stay in the ICU due to COVID-19 infection in the second pandemic wave, I became more aware of my health and optimized my nutrition (high protein-rich diet) for boosting my immunity. I became aware that packaged food, which is high in fat, sugar, and salt, leads to obesity, as well as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). 

While working among the marginalised, my alertness towards the packaged foods became my strength to spearhead a campaign for strong Front of Package Labelling (FOPL) in India for combatting NCD, childhood obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other diseases."  says Dr Lenin Raghuvanshi, an award-winning renowned human rights activist and physician.

We want to improve global citizens’ human rights situation and ensure a world without discrimination

 

We want to improve global citizens’ human rights situation and ensure a world without discrimination

- Statement for the 72^nd Human Rights Day -

Human Rights Day was established in 1950 to commemorate the declaration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, working toward the dignity of everyone and for freedom, justice, and equality in the world. However, seventy-four years have passed since the enactment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the current experience of human rights on the globe is not hopeful. In some countries, democracy and human rights are declining due to the emergence of military dictatorship regimes. 

Many countries around the world, including countries in Asia (e.g., Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines, and Hong Kong) are facing a crisis of democracy due to authoritarian regimes. Citizens who have struggled at the hands of the military and regimes have been abducted or detained, have gone missing, and have had their human rights brutally destroyed. This is not a single country’s problem. Broken democracies and human rights on either side of the globe are affecting other countries like falling dominoes. 

In addition, between developed and developing countries, the COVID-19 vaccine has not seen equal distribution due to differences in the status of vaccine development and supply. Global pharmaceutical companies are the exclusive owners of medical technology, resulting in exorbitant vaccine prices and vaccine monopolies in developed countries. Also, the accessibility and inoculation rate of vaccines in developing countries are vastly different from those in developed countries. This has resulted in an inability to reach herd immunity, and as the world’s safety is threatened by the spread of mutations, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, people are made to fear COVID-19. In addition, the difference in the quality and quantity of education depends on digital accessibility, and this is becoming a serious problem when students cannot go to school during the pandemic. Educational inequality is clear evidence of social disparity among children in developing countries or marginalized regions, and it will eventually adhere to social and economic polarization. 

Additionally, the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-Asian hate crimes have shown that racial discrimination is occurring not only in the US and Europe but also in Asia. This did not happen overnight. These problems have exploded due to deep-rooted discrimination and prejudice, combined with the outbreak of COVID-19 and other social issues. Racism caused by nationalism and white supremacy will devastate a healthy civil society and gradually establish an exclusionary attitude toward other ethnicities and races. 

Accordingly, we urge the international community and governments of each country to do the following:

-     The international community should halt aid and cooperation with illegitimate military governments and authoritarian regimes.

-     International organizations, such as the United Nations Security Council, the United Nations Human Rights Council, and the International Criminal Court should strengthen their monitoring of crimes against humanity and seek active international measures to protect human rights.

-     The World Health Organization should come up with countermeasures to distribute vaccines to developing countries and marginalized groups.

-     Global pharmaceutical companies should temporarily exempt the application of intellectual property rights of COVID-19–related medical products and actively cooperate in the sharing of medical technology and the equitable distribution of vaccines.

-     The UN, each government, and global corporations should work together to come up with solutions that address educational inequalities caused by unequal digital access—for instance, by building an internet platform.

-     The government should conduct comprehensive research on race-, religion-, and gender-based discrimination through investigations on hate crimes, protect victims, and establish civic education programs for the realization of an inclusive democracy.

आज से सात साल पहले नरेंद्र मोदी ने जहां से भारतीय समाज और संस्‍कृति की बहुलता को चुनौती दी थी, दुनिया ने वहीं से बहुलता की रक्षा के लिए एक शख्‍स को सम्‍मानित किया है। #काशी के डॉ. लेनिन को आज दुनिया भर में बहुलता के संरक्षण के लिए प्रयासरत दस शख्सियतों की अंतिम सूची में शामिल किया गया। ग्लोबल सेंटर फॉर प्लुरलिज़्म यह पुरस्कार हर दो साल में एक बार दुनिया भर के व्यक्तियों, संगठनों और सरकारों को ऐसे अधिक समावेशी समाजों के निर्माण में अनुकरणीय उपलब्धियों के लिए देता है जहां विविधता की रक्षा की जाती है।

इस मौके पर कनाडा के पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री जो क्‍लार्क ने कहा, “बहुलवाद सम्मान, सहयोग और साझा उद्देश्य का एक ऐसा विवरण है जो समुदायों को गतिशील रखता है। इन शख्सियतों ने बहुलवाद में उल्लेखनीय योगदान दिया है। वे आज की दुनिया में अन्याय, असमानता और अपवर्जन की चुनौतियों से निपटने में मौलिकता और साहस को दर्शाते हैं।”

ग्लोबल सेंटर फॉर प्लुरलिज़्म को 2021 ग्लोबल प्लुरलिज़्म अवार्ड के लिए 70 देशों से 500 नामांकन प्राप्त हुए थे। नामांकित व्यक्ति कठोर समीक्षा प्रक्रिया से गुजरते हैं और बहुलवाद से संबंधित अनुशासनों की स्वतंत्र विशेषज्ञों की अंतरराष्ट्रीय जूरी द्वारा चुने जाते हैं।
