SPEAKER: On this day, fifty years ago, the United Nations adopted the  Universal Declaration of Human Rights. India, as a Member State of the United  Nations made significant contributions to the establishment of the International  Bill on human rights. This Bill consists of the Declaration and the two  International Covenants, one on economic, social and cultural rights and the  other on civil and political rights and their optional protocols.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">True to our role in the United Nations and our tradition of respecting the  rights of the individual since Vedic and Epic periods, we have provided for  protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms in our Constitution. Further  we have diligently tried to bring our practices in conformity with our  commitments in this regard with the international community and in the  Constitution. In the process we have enacted appropriate laws, created  institutional mechanisms and taken affirmative actions.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">Considering that we have a pluralistic society of diverse religions,  communities and vast masses of vulnerable people living below poverty line, we  shall continue, with eternal vigilance, our efforts at respecting and actually  protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. In particular, we shall give  special attention to protecting these rights and freedoms of Scheduled Castes,  Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Communities, minorities, women, children and  persons with disabilities through democratic, constitutional, legal  developmental and educational processes, involving the legislative, executive  and judicial arms of governance at the national and State levels as well as the  civil society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Made A Reference To The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The Universal &#8230; on 10 December, 1998 &gt;Title: Made a reference to the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 11.00 hrs MR.
