How are human rights defined in the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 ?

In terms of Section 2 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 “human rights” means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed under theConstitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India. “International Covenants” means the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted by the General Assembly of the Unitednations on the 16th December, 1966.

So if you have been oppressed by members who ostracise you due to their seniority in age – they are putting you at disadvantage, beating up your self esteem, your ability to focus on positive outcomes and become a productive member of the Society. Speak up your mind, be bold and fearless. Set an example.
